Pune horror: Man enters woman's home posing as delivery agent, rapes her; probe on
NEW DELHI: A 22-year-old woman was allegedly raped by an unidentified man who entered her home in Pune on Wednesday evening by posing as a courier delivery executive, news agency PTI reported.
The incident took place at around 7.30pm in a housing society in the Kondhwa area of the city.
The woman was reportedly alone at the time of the attack. “Her brother had gone out for work. The accused knocked on the door claiming to be delivering a courier and managed to enter the flat,” a senior police officer told reporters.
According to police, the man allegedly raped the woman and fled the scene soon after.
The official said there were reports that the man used a spray at the woman before committing the crime, but it was yet to be confirmed.
Officers said they are examining CCTV footage from the housing society and surrounding areas to try to identify the accused.
"A total of 10 teams — five from the crime branch and five zonal teams — are working on the case," a senior officer said.
"The woman had been unconscious since 7.30pm. Forensic experts were called to the spot to check if something had been sprayed on her. A selfie was found in the woman’s phone — we are analysing it," the official added further.
A case has been registered and an investigation is under way.
