Gurugram: The Gurugram Police have arrested a Bhojpuri singer for allegedly raping a minor girl and posting an objectionable photo of the victim on social media.
The accused, identified as 21-year-old Abhishek aka Babul Bihari, used to live in Gurugram’s Rajiv Nagar area two years ago during which he had befriended the 13-year-old girl, the police said Friday.
