Two Afghans held for raping Kazakh woman

Two Afghanistan nationals were arrested after a woman from Kazakhstan accused them of raping her in south Delhi, police said on Wednesday.

Accused Jamshed Khan, 34, and Zarmal Khan, 40 are residents of Ballimaran in old Delhi and deal in dry fruits and readymade garments."Five years ago, the woman married a Kashmiri man and began living in Hauz Rani area. Jamshed and Zarmal were known to her husband and visited their residence. They went to her residence on Sunday in her husband's absence and sexually assaulted her," a senior police officer said.

The woman approached the Malviya Nagar police station on Monday, following which a case of rape and unnatural sex was registered.

A Saket court has since sent the two accused in 14-day judicial custody.
