A Delhi policeman's son was arrested for raping a girl in a hotel room, police said Friday. Another relative was also nabbed in connection with the incident.
Mohd. Athar Khan, 25 was arrested for raping a 19-year-old girl in a hotel room in north Delhi, police said. His cousin, Anam Khan, 26, was also arrested.
According to the complaint, the girl befriended Athar a few months back through a social network website.
Athar Jan 31 called the girl to a hotel located in the Rani Bagh area where Anam was already present.
Athar raped her in a room in front of Anam and also threatened her with dire consequences if she told anyone about the assault, the complaint said.
