Fake Army Officer Arrested for Rape in Delhi

New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a 27-year-old doctor from Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital was allegedly raped by a man who posed as an Indian Army officer after befriending her through social media. The accused, who actually works as a delivery agent with Amazon, was arrested by Delhi Police following a raid in the Chhatarpur area.
