Pune Crime: Woman Raped At Home, Police Hunt Man Behind Selfie With “I’ll Be Back” Note

In a deeply disturbing incident reported from Pune, a woman in her 30s was allegedly raped inside her upscale residential society by an unidentified intruder who left behind a threatening message that has sent shockwaves through the community.

The crime reportedly occurred late on the night of July 1, 2025, and was reported to the police on July 2. The victim, who lives alone in a high-end housing complex (name withheld for privacy), was assaulted at knifepoint inside her own apartment.

According to police sources, the intruder broke into the woman's flat during the night and raped her while threatening her with a knife. In a chilling act after the assault, he used the victim's phone to take a selfie-believed to be a form of intimidation-and typed a disturbing message on the screen: "I'll be back." He fled the scene shortly after.

Police have registered a case under charges of rape, criminal intimidation, and house trespass. A full-scale investigation is underway, with the selfie taken by the accused serving as a critical lead. Authorities are using facial recognition software to identify the suspect and are reviewing CCTV footage from the residential society and nearby areas.

The victim is currently receiving medical care and psychological support. Multiple police teams have been deployed to track down the accused. Senior officials have assured swift and strict action, and have appealed to the public for any information that could help in the investigation.
