Briefing about the incident, Inspector Shubham Agarwal said that the accused was arrested on Saturday (August 26) and further investigation into the case was underway.

As per the complaint, a 22-year-old BA female student in Delhi got friendly with Danish Akhlaq on Instagram and started talking to him on the phone. Danish went to meet her in Delhi on August 20 and they spent time together in a restaurant there, it said.

What happened on August 23?

During the meeting, the accused told her about his family and invited her to Meerut. On August 22, she came to meet him in Meerut and Danish asked her to meet the manager of a hotel and wait for him, the complaint said.
