“I got late and hired an auto-rickshaw as cabs were not available due to strike. The driver seemed fine initially but he took the auto on a secluded route claiming it to be a short cut. He parked the auto at a secluded place and pounced on me” the victim told the police.

She alleged that when she resisted the accused tore her clothes and after she started shouting, the driver left her and fled from the spot. She somehow reached the police station and lodged a complaint.

“We filed a case on the same day and are trying to identify the accused. The victim is not sure about the area where the incident took place. She is also not able to give the description of the auto driver” said inspector Kailash Devi, in-charge of women police station.

She said the police are questioning the auto drivers at Huda city centre and scanning CCTV cameras installed there to get some clues.

Members of a helpline meant for people from Northeast have demanded speedy action in the matter. They also met Robin Hibu, joint commissioner (Delhi) and nodal officer for people from Northeast, a day after the incident.
