New Delhi, September 6: Delhi Police on Friday said that a medical potency test of television actor Ashish Kapoor was carried out at AIIMS. Officials said that the report will serve as key evidence in the alleged rape case filed against him. Earlier this week, Kapoor was arrested from Pune, Maharashtra. Police said the actor was held after they tracked his movements across several locations before taking him into custody.

The case is linked to a complaint filed by a woman at the Civil Lines police station in Delhi. She alleged that Kapoor assaulted her inside a bathroom during a house party in Delhi in the second week of August.
