Rajasthan Minister’s Son Not Found, Cops Leave Rape Case Notice On Door

Jaipur: A Delhi Police team of 15 officials reached Jaipur this morning to arrest Rajasthan Minister Mahesh Joshi’s son Rohit, who is accused of raping a 23-year-old woman.
The police team visited two residences of the minister in the city. His son, however, was not found. “Our teams are conducting a search to locate Rohit Joshi, who has been on the run,” said a senior police officer.

The Delhi Police then summoned Rohit Joshi to appear before them by May 18. The officials pasted a copy of the summon on the wall of their residence.

In her complaint, the woman alleged that the minister’s son raped her on several occasions between January 8 last year and April 17 this year, and also promised to marry her, following which the Delhi Police had registered a zero First Information Report or zero FIR initially.

Later, the zero FIR was converted into a regular FIR since the allegations of commission of sexual assault committed in Sadar Bazar police station jurisdiction were also mentioned in the complaint.

The woman said she developed a friendship with Rohit Joshi on Facebook last year and they have been in contact since then. She also accused Rohit Joshi of kidnapping and blackmailing.
