Television actor Ashish Kapoor, best known for his roles in popular TV shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has been sent to 14-day judicial custody in connection with a rape case. Kapoor was arrested following a woman’s complaint, in which she accused him of sexually assaulting her during a house party in Delhi’s Civil Lines area in August 2025.
According to the woman’s statement, she met Kapoor through social media and was invited to a party hosted by his friend. During the event, she alleges that Kapoor took her to a washroom and assaulted her. She also claimed that the incident was recorded on video, but no such footage has been found by the authorities so far.
Initially, the police investigation named Kapoor, his friend, and two other unidentified individuals. However, the woman later revised her statement, accusing only Kapoor of the alleged assault. The police have confirmed that Kapoor’s friend’s wife made the PCR call to report the incident shortly after the alleged assault took place.
The actor was arrested in Pune and brought to Delhi for questioning. Authorities have also conducted a medical potency test, and the results are awaited. Investigations are ongoing, with police analyzing evidence from the event and reviewing the woman’s testimony.
Kapoor’s legal team has yet to release a statement regarding the accusations. Meanwhile, his fans and followers are closely monitoring the developments, as the case continues to unfold.
This case highlights concerns regarding personal safety and accountability, particularly in high-profile circles. The outcome of this investigation is being awaited by both the public and the entertainment industry.
