Police arrested a chef in two separate cases filed on the charge of allegedly raping two working women from a house in the capital’s Rampura area on Friday night.

The arrestee was identified as Mushfiq Alam, 38, who is a cook by profession and used to supply foods to different bachelor messes or dormitories in Rampura area.
