A 28-year-old Nigerian has been arrested by the Bengaluru Police for allegedly raping his friend's wife in the city. Incidentally, the accused was overstaying in India after his visa had expired.

According to the police, Christian Chidiebere Chukwu, a native of Lagos, in Nigeria, was staying at his friend's place in Bengaluru, as he was hiding from the police, who had issued a red corner notice against him. Recently, when his friend was away, taking advantage of the situation, he raped his wife, also a Nigerian. However, the victim decided to file a complaint recently.

The police, who arrested Christian, was shocked to learn that his visa had expired in 2013, and he continued to stay in the country. They also found out that the Mizoram police had issued a red corner notice against his name. Christian entered India on a medical attendant visa with his cousin. He stayed in Mizoram for three months and didn't return to Nigeria. From Mizoram, he traveled to Bengaluru with the help of his friends.

It is said that Christian was also involved in a few phishing and cheating cases. The Bengaluru police have written to their Mizoram counterparts on his arrest.
