Man Who Raped Pune Techie Was Her Friend, She Herself Took Selfie: Police
The 22-year-old woman had claimed that a man who posed as a courier delivery agent entered her flat in Kondhwa area on Wednesday evening. She passed out, and when she regained consciousness, he was gone, she said. The accused clicked a selfie using her phone in which her back and a part of his face are seen, and left a message warning that he had taken her pictures and would release them on social media if she reported the incident.
It was the woman herself who took a selfie with him and typed a threatening message in her phone, police commissioner Amitesh Kumar said.
“They know each other for a couple of years and belong to the same community,” he said.

Before leaving, the accused clicked a selfie using her phone in which her back and a part of his face are seen, and left a message warning that he had taken her pictures and would release them on social media if she reported the incident, she told police.
But after detaining the suspect, who is a highly qualified professional, the police found that the woman herself had taken the selfie, which originally showed his face clearly, edited it, and also typed the purported threatening message.
No chemical spray had been used to make her unconscious (as suspected earlier), Kumar said.
“We are still ascertaining why the victim made allegations of rape and it is still under investigation as the girl’s mental state is not good at present,” the commissioner said.
“The rape part is still under investigation,” he added.
