A British woman was allegedly raped and molested by two men at a hotel in Delhi's Mahipalpur area, according to an official statement on Thursday. Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the incident, which reportedly took place on Tuesday. The British High Commission has been informed about the matter, as per PTI reports.

According to police sources, the British national had established contact with one of the accused, identified as Kailash, through a social media platform around a month and a half ago. The two had been communicating regularly since then. Kailash, a 24-year-old resident of east Delhi, struggled with English and reportedly used a translation application to communicate with the woman, police said.
