New Delhi, Aug 5 Delhi Police's Crime Branch has apprehended a 23-year-old 'history-sheeter' wanted in connection with the gang-rape of a minor in the national capital, said an official on Saturday.
The accused, identified as Karan Singh alias Rahul, has a criminal record, with involvement in five previous cases, including attempted murder and the arms act.
Providing details of the incident, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Singh Yadav stated that on June 23, the victim was physically and sexually assaulted by two individuals known to her, Mohd. Miraj and a juvenile.

During the investigation, three of the accused were nabbed, but Karan and
Kamal managed to escape.
