New Delhi: A cab driver was booked for reportedly raping a lady who worked for an apparel business in a well-known mall on the Mehrauli-Gurugram Road under the guise of providing her a ride home, the police said.
The woman, who lives in Delhi, was on her way home on Wednesday night when the incident occurred.
According to Gurugram police spokesperson, Subhash Boken, the woman waved down a cab on MG Road near a bus stop and the driver requested her to take the front seat. ‘The driver asked her to leave the rear seats for other passengers. He parked the car on an isolated stretch and raped her in the cab,’ he said.
