Two people, both auto drivers have been arrested in connection with the sexual assault of an 18-year-old woman in a moving auto-rickshaw near Chennai on Monday night.
The woman, a migrant worker from another state employed in Salem, was waiting for a bus outside the Kilambakkam bus terminus when an auto-rickshaw driver approached her and offered a ride. When she refused, he forcibly dragged her inside. Soon, two other men allegedly joined him in the vehicle and assaulted her at knifepoint as the three-wheeler sped through the city streets.
