Delhi Police in Jaipur to arrest Rajasthan Minister’s son in rape case

Delhi Police officials reached Jaipur on Sunday trying to arrest Rohit Joshi, Rajasthan Minister Mahesh Joshi’s son, who is accused of rape and has now been asked to appear before them on May 18.

A senior police officer of Delhi police said, “Our team of officers have reached Jaipur in connection with the case to nab Joshi, who has been absconding. Our teams are conducting a search to locate and trace him.” This comes days after a 23-year-old woman from Jaipur alleged in Delhi that Mr. Rohit, the son of Rajasthan’s Minister for Public Health Engineering, raped her on multiple occasions over a year, following which the Delhi Police registered a zero FIR initially. A zero FIR can be registered anywhere in the country.

The Delhi Police team visited Joshis’ under-construction residence in Sen Colony, Jaipur, where it glued a notice for Mr. Rohit.
