Pune Police have arrested a real estate agent for allegedly raping a 24-year-old woman when she had gone to see a house for taking it on rent, an official said on Sunday. The incident took place on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, the official from Vimantal police station said.

The woman, who works as a hairdresser, got in touch with the 38-year-old real estate agent through a website and communicated with him for a week via messages about flats available on rent.
