New Delhi: A 22-year-old makeup artist who met a man through social media was allegedly raped by him twice in Delhi after he allegedly drugged her, police sources said.

According to the woman’s complaint, she first came in contact with the accused online last year. The man, who allegedly introduced himself as a makeup artist, later invited her to a hotel in northwest Delhi in July, claiming he would connect her with people for business opportunities, as per the PTI report.

The woman alleged that the accused gave her a cold drink containing sedatives, following which she lost consciousness. She claimed that he sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious and subsequently assured her that he would marry her, allegedly convincing her not to report the incident to the police.

The complainant further alleged that the man took her to another hotel in GTB Nagar on August 8, where he allegedly assaulted her again. She also accused him of threatening her with serious consequences when she attempted to resist.

Her health reportedly worsened following the incident, after which she was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for treatment.

Police have registered an FIR based on her complaint and launched a search for the accused. Investigators have also taken possession of CCTV recordings and the hotel’s entry register as part of the probe, police sources said.
