A 22-year-old woman in Jubilee Hills has accused a food delivery man from Mallepally of raping her in a hotel room after befriending her. The accused, a 23-year-old gig worker, had befriended the girl when he had come to deliver an order that the girl had placed on a food delivery app. He was arrested by the Jubilee Hills police on Friday following the woman’s complaint. According to TOI, the police were able to trace and arrest the accused based on the phone number provided by the woman. He has been charged under sections 376 (rape), 354-D (stalking), and 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the IPC.
According to the woman, the incident started six months ago when she used a mobile app to order takeout. She was attending an event at a hotel when the accused brought the food to her. She used an e-wallet to pay for the food, which gave the accused access to her phone number.
The accused started reaching out to her over time, and they became friends and occasionally had in-person meetings. He asked her to meet him at the hotel on Thursday night. The woman claimed that he had already reserved a room at the hotel, where late one night, after she had fallen asleep, he sexually assaulted her. On Friday, the woman called the police to report the incident.
