Delhi: A case has been filed against a Delhi lawyer after a 21-year-old woman alleged that he raped her in his chamber at Tis Hazari Court under the guise of offering her employment. The complaint was lodged by the woman’s aunt at Sabji Mandi Police Station on July 30.
According to the complaint, the woman had sought a job and was given the lawyer’s contact by her aunt. After reaching out to the lawyer, she was invited to his office to present her educational documents. The lawyer promised to help her find a job within 8-10 days.
