Travel agent held for raping a minor

Mehandi Hassan, a resident of Tehkhand in Okhla Phase II, was arrested on October 15 soon after he returned from Malaysia, a senior police official said.

"Hassan had allegedly raped the 13-year-old girl, who was known to the accused's wife and visited her since March, after giving her a glass of water laced with sedatives. He also threatened her after she regained consciousness and later raped her several times," said Ajay Chaudhry, ACP South-East district.

The girl reported the matter to police on October 11 but Hassan allegedly escaped to Malaysia after his wife came to know about his crime.

 

29-year-old Hassan, who is a diploma holder in Mechanical engineering, runs a travel and ticketing business in Bharat Nagar in New Friends Colony.

He is a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh and married a Chinese national named Leo in 2006, but divorced her in 2008. Later he married a girl who was working as a secretary in his company.
