New Delhi: A man has been arrested in Govindpuri area in New Delhi, for allegedly raping a 19-year-old woman for three years and forcing her into prostitution after promising her a job as a domestic help, police said today.

The accused kept her in his home and allegedly made obscene videos of her and threatened to upload those on the social media.

The woman told police that she had met the accused three years back on a train while travelling from West Bengal to Delhi.
