Efforts are on to nab the third mini-bus driver and the cleaner who are absconding after the incident. The absconding accused includes the mini bus driver who had promised the victim that he would help her get a job with a salary around Rs 10,000.

According to a police officer, the victim is married but was living separately from her husband in Pul Prahladpur area for the past few months.

“On Sunday, the absconding mini-bus driver had taken her to a private company in Badarpur for the job where the other accused were already present. They forcibly took her to an isolated place and took turns to rape her. They also threatened to kill her if she told anybody about the incident,” said the officer, quoting the victim’s complaint.
