Asif, one of three accused in a gang rape case involving a minor in Delhi's Kalkaji area, appeared before a Saket court on Thursday bearing visible injuries. According to police, Asif sustained the injuries during an encounter that preceded his arrest.
Investigators allege that Asif, along with accomplices Hemant and Mukesh, gang-raped a minor girl. Police say Asif posed as a police officer during the alleged crime, using his false identity to facilitate the assault.
All three accused were produced in court Thursday for proceedings in the case. The investigation into the incident is continuing, with police examining the circumstances that led to the alleged crime and the roles played by each accused.
The case has drawn attention to concerns over impersonation of law enforcement officials and crimes targeting minors in the capital region.
