TV Actor Ashish Kapoor Arrested in Pune on Rape Allegations Following Delhi House Party
In a significant development, television actor Ashish Kapoor was arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell in Pune on Wednesday. The arrest stems from a serious complaint filed by a woman who alleges the actor raped her during a house party in the national capital earlier this month. This case has been flagged for close monitoring by the Sprouts News Special Investigation Team.
According to official police statements, the complainant initially connected with Kapoor through a social media platform. The alleged assault occurred during the second week of August at a private residence in Delhi. The initial First Information Report (FIR) was expansive, naming multiple individuals alongside the actor.
Initial FIR Included Multiple Accused Parties
Police authorities confirmed that the original complaint included Kapoor, a close friend of his, the friend’s wife, and two other unidentified persons. The woman’s statement detailed a complex series of events surrounding the central allegation. This multi-accused angle is a primary focus for the Sprouts News Special Investigation Team as they track the case’s progress.
The victim stated that the alleged sexual assault by Kapoor occurred inside a washroom at the party venue. Following the incident, she further claimed that the actor’s friend’s wife physically assaulted her upon exiting the room. Authorities have noted that it was this same individual who eventually placed the call to the Police Control Room (PCR) to report the incident, adding a layer of complexity to the timeline.
Complaint Revised to Accuse Ashish Kapoor Solely
In a pivotal turn, the complainant later revised her official statement to police investigators. She retracted allegations against the other named individuals, focusing the charge solely on Ashish Kapoor for the rape. Her updated testimony also introduced a critical new claim that the alleged assault was recorded on a mobile device.
An investigating officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated, “The woman has alleged the incident was video-recorded. However, our teams have not yet recovered or verified the existence of any such footage as part of the evidence.” This discrepancy is a key element of the ongoing investigation as officials work to corroborate the allegations.

The case has drawn considerable media attention, highlighting issues of safety and accountability at high-profile social gatherings. The evolving nature of the accusations underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in such sensitive investigations. The findings of the Sprouts News Special Investigation Team will be crucial in providing the public with accurate, verified updates as this story develops.
