A tantrik has been arrested here for allegedly raping a 23-year-old woman after threatening to kill her brothers by using "black magic", Delhi Police said on Wednesday.

Abdulla Musharraf has been arrested on Tuesday from his hideouts in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh following the victim lodged a complaint at Shakarpur police station in east Delhi.

Police said the victim made a complaint on July 24 accusing her neighbour Akshay Rajouriya and the Ghaziabad-based Tantrik for raping her several times.

"Rajouriya took the victim to Ghaziabad one year ago where he along with the Tantric raped her," Deputy Commissioner of Police Ajay Kumar said.

Kumar said the Tantrik had also made a clip of the act after threatening the victim to kill her brothers by using "black magic".

The officer said the victim was again taken by her neighbour to the residence of the Tantrik and "they confined her in a room for 19 days where she was drugged and raped by both of them several times".

The victim had also informed police that she was raped by two other people in Ghaziabad, who had paid money to the Tantrik.
