The woman's husband, a van driver by profession, left the house for work at 3 am like every day.
Since Arif Lapti's house and the housewife's house are in the same village, he had been keeping an eye on the housewife for some time. After that, five minutes after the housewife's husband left the house for work, Arif knocked on the door, thinking that the victim was her husband coming, as soon as she opened the door, Arif Lapti pressed her face and entered the house with a knife at her throat.
Her 2-year-old child was sleeping in the house at the time. Accused Arif Lapti then held a knife to the child's throat, stripped the victim naked, and raped her for almost an hour before fleeing before dawn.
When her husband returned home in the morning, the woman told everything, and they came to the police station and filed a complaint.
Based on the complaint, the police, led by SI Renuka, were able to arrest him this morning. Accused Arif Lapti had been involved in immoral activities at various times before, and the villagers expelled him from the area two years ago.
He is also accused of harassing women at various times, including in drug cases.
