The incident allegedly took place on Wednesday in Dwarka Sector-12 area of west Delhi where the woman reached the office of the medical firm to meet Vinay Kumar, the accused, for some work.

In her complaint, the woman said: "I had gone to meet Vinay Kumar at his office for some official purpose. He was alone in the firm when I reached there. Finding the opportunity, he attacked me, tore my clothes and raped me."

"He also threatened me of dire consequences if I tried to approach the police or told anyone about the incident," the woman told police.
