NEW DELHI: The former women’s minister of the Indian capital — who was sacked over a “sex tape” — has now been arrested following a claim by a woman shown in the tape that he raped her, an investigator said Sunday.
Sandeep Kumar was arrested on Saturday, days after he was dismissed as women’s and children’s minister of the region covering Delhi following the video leak to television channels which showed him kissing two women.
“He was arrested on a complaint filed by one of the woman seen in the video. She has alleged Kumar raped her. The investigations have just started,” Vikramjit Singh, deputy police commissioner of Delhi, told AFP.
The married woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said in her complaint to police that Kumar spiked her drink with sedatives before sexually assaulting her last year at his residence, the officer said.
She alleged the minister had promised her a job and help in securing a government benefits card.
