A case has been registered against a Delhi lawyer after a 21-year-old woman alleged that he raped her inside his chamber at Tis Hazari Court on the pretext of giving her a job. The case was registered at Sabji Mandi Police Station after the aunt of the woman lodged a complaint on July 30.

In her complaint, the aunt of the woman said her niece was looking for a job, and she gave her the contact of the lawyer. After the woman contacted the lawyer, she was asked to visit his chamber to show her educational qualifications.

The lawyer told the woman that he would look for a job for her in the next 8–10 days. After 10 days, the woman contacted the lawyer again and the two started exchanging texts, as per the complaint. The lawyer also allegedly told the woman that "everyone needs good friends in life".

The woman was again called to the lawyer's chamber on July 27. After speaking for some time, the lawyer forced himself on her and also inserted his finger in her private part, the woman said in the complaint.

As the woman started screaming, the lawyer threatened her with dire consequences if she told anyone about the assault. He gave her Rs 1,500 and asked her to leave, the woman's complaint said.

After reaching home, the woman informed her aunt about the incident, who then approached the police. A probe is underway, police said.
