Actor Ashish Kapoor in Legal Trouble: Phone Search Critical in Rape Case

A television actor, Ashish Kapoor, is under investigation by the Delhi Police following allegations of rape. The police are diligently working to locate a crucial piece of evidence—a mobile phone allegedly taken during the incident, officials reported on Saturday.

The case first drew attention when a woman claimed she was given a spiked drink at a Delhi house party last month, subsequently assaulted, and recorded on her device, which was seized by Kapoor and his associate, according to a senior police officer.

Initial reports named Kapoor and others in a gang rape allegation, but the accuser later refined her statement, focusing solely on Kapoor. He has been arrested in Pune and placed in judicial custody as investigators push forward.
