“Journalist Deepak Chaurasia was recently arrested on the charges of raping a 9-year-old girl”
What FACTLY found
Lately, the POCSO court in Gurugram issued an arrest warrant against Deepak Chaurasia in a 2013 case for allegedly airing morphed and tampered videos of a 10-year-old girl and her family and linking the same to a sexual assault. A warrant of arrest was issued against Chaurasia for 03 March 2023. The arrest warrant was not issued on the charges of raping a minor girl.
