Pune Crime: Woman Took Selfie, Typed Threat Herself; Accused Friend Not Delivery Agent — Rape Claim Under Probe, CP Amitesh Kumar Shares Full Details Of Case

In a major twist in Pune's Kondhwa rape case, Pune Police confirmed that the accused was known to the victim and that the photo he took was taken with consent. He also works as an IT professional, and no chemical spray was used by him.

The duo met last year at a family function.

Two days after an unidentified man allegedly raped a 22-year-old IT professional after entering her flat in Pune city by posing as a courier delivery person, police on Friday said they had detained a suspect.

The police also stated that the photos were edited by the victim.

After detaining the suspect, who is a highly qualified professional, the police found that the woman herself had taken the selfie, which originally showed his face clearly, edited it, and also typed the purported threatening message. No chemical spray had been used to make her unconscious (as suspected earlier), Kumar said.
