South Delhi gangrape case: Advocate, final-year BSc student among 3 accused

An advocate and his 17-year-old brother are among three men accused of gang raping a minor girl in a DDA park in South Delhi, according to police. Hemant Singh and Mukesh, a final-year BSc Mathematics student, were arrested on Tuesday morning from their home in Shri Niwaspuri. The third accused, Asif, was arrested from Amar Colony after an encounter with police, where he sustained a bullet injury to his right leg following an alleged shootout.

Hemant Singh and Mukesh face accusations of posing as police officers to question the two minors about their age, then taking the girl to various locations within the park and raping her, as reported by Joint Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar. The victim, who is a resident of Faridabad, had come to Delhi on Monday evening and was accompanied by her minor male friend.

The accused allegedly took the girl to a secluded area of the park, where the gang rape occurred. Hemant Singh's father, advocate J R Dhankar, claims his sons were framed and mistreated by the police, alleging a conspiracy to incriminate them.
