A British woman was allegedly raped by two men at a hotel in Delhi’s Mahipalpur area. Both accused have been arrested, an official said on Thursday.

According to the official, the British woman had befriended one of the accused on a social media platform. She had traveled from the UK to Delhi to meet him.

According to the police, one of the accused, Kailash, a resident of Vasundhara, Mayur Vihar, East Delhi, has a penchant for making Instagram reels. A few months ago, he connected with the woman, a London resident, through the social media platform. The woman was on a visit to Maharashtra and Goa when she contacted Kailash and invited him to meet her. However, he expressed his inability to travel and instead asked her to visit Delhi.

On Tuesday evening, the woman arrived in Delhi and checked into a hotel in Mahipalpur. Responding to her invitation, Kailash, accompanied by his friend Wasim, visited her at the hotel. The trio consumed alcohol and had dinner before heading to her room.

Further details are awaited, the official added.

In a separate incident, an 8-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her father in Delhi’s Sadar Bazar.

The accused, a vegetable vendor, was arrested on the same day after locals identified him and handed him over to the authorities.
