Delhi:
An employee of a Gurgaon-based BPO was abducted and sexually assaulted inside a tempo by four men and then dumped near Mangolpuri in Delhi.
It's been more than 48 hours, but the picture remains hazy. That's because the CCTV footage available with the police is anything but explicit.
CCTV cameras were installed at three different locations along the route that the accused took after abducting the 30-year-old woman. But only one camera could capture them.
"One of the cameras was not working while the rapists were out of the range of another one. The third camera has some footage of the alleged accused. Analysts are going through the CCTV footage but the pictures are blurry." said a senior police official. He added that though the video is faulty, the investigation of the case depends on it.
Fifteen teams of senior police officials have been formed to crack the case. DCP of south Delhi HGS Dhaliwal said the rapists had stopped their vehicle at a nearby petrol pump because they needed diesel. He said that they will interrogate the petrol pump attendant.
Meanwhile a senior police official close to the investigation said that police is mulling over preparing a sketch of the accused persons with the help of the victim.
"Police have found an eyewitness who is a petrol pump attendant. When the accused will be arrested we will call this attendant for an identification parade in court," he said.
The official said that they are talking to the victim, who is traumatised at the moment, and will release the sketch soon.
Cops have also blamed the victim's cab driver in the matter. "He dropped her at distance from her home. That is also a reason behind the incident. The cab driver should have dropped her at her doorstep," said an official.
A police source said that the cab driver is also under scanner and will be questioned soon.
"He may have given tip-off to the accused. But we are not sure yet," stated the police source.
Police suspect that the accused had come with a plan. "They knew where the cab driver will drop her and who will be with her. They knew that there is no security guard in the street and the lane is isolated. They waited till her cab returned and attacked the victim and her friend.
They wanted to kidnap both girls," said a senior police official.
The official said that the accused were carrying fire arms to deal with neighbours if anyone came forward to rescue the victim.
"They may have been following the victim without letting her know and had chosen the right time to capture her along with her friend. They may have pre-decided the way to take the victim to an isolated place to rape her," said the official.
The victim, a native of Mizoram, had been living in a two BHK flat in Moti Bagh area for the past two and a half years along with her cousin.
