Delhi gang-rape accused dined out after act, washed clothes to remove proof: Cops
The girl was gang-raped on gunpoint inside the 142-acre Aastha Kunj Park near Kalkaji Temple in the Capital.
Two of the three men accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in Delhi's Aastha Kunj Park had deleted their mobile phone data before being arrested, according to police. The accused, Mukesh Singh (24) and Hemant Singh (31), both brothers, had erased their search histories, photos, and videos from their phones. The third accused, Asif (30), switched off his phone upon learning police were searching for him.
Asif was also found carrying an unlicensed firearm and knife. The two brothers were identified as having visited a restaurant after the crime and returning home to wash their clothes. They were arrested on Tuesday morning after attempting to escape. The accused allegedly targeted a minor and her male friend who were visiting the park on her 17th birthday.
Asif harassed couples and took videos inside the park, while Hemant was previously removed from a gym for harassment accusations. The police are investigating the accused's past conduct and will contact Mukesh's college authorities in Palwal.
