Delhi Rape Case: Sonipat Youth Let Off, No Headway by Cops

Delhi-PoliceNew Delhi, Nov 30 : As the 30-year-old BPO employee, who was gangraped on Wednesday morning last week, slowly recuperates and recovers from the shock, cops claim that the victim is assisting them in investigations. She is helping Delhi Police prepare sketches of the accused.

Police said that the victim from Mizoram and her colleague are helping them with the case. ''A woman cop and counsellors have been helping her to come out of the trauma. The driver of the cab in which the two travelled on the night of the incident told us that he took a particular route everyday while commuting from office and it was on the request of the two girls that he dropped them outside their gate. We are examining his statements,'' said a senior police officer.

The police said the youth from Sonipat who was called for questioning in connection with the case was let off after he was found to be clean. ''We verified his movements and we found nothing amiss. However, five youths who matched the description of the suspects given by the girl are being questioned,'' said a senior police officer who is part of the probe.

DCP (South) H G S Dhaliwal said: ''Various teams are working on all the angles. We are questioning few persons who have criminal background. The suspects are relevant to the case.'' The questioning of suspects is based on some inputs. There is a definite trail, said a senior officer.

Police have failed to crack the case despite deploying 15 special teams. The cops have also released two sketches and are questioning several suspects, studying CCTV footage and recording statements of three witnesses. Investigators said that the make of the vehicle used in the crime could be a pick-up van.

Meanwhile, the victim and her colleague came out in support of their employer. Speaking to TOI, the victim's friend said, ''Our company should not be blamed for what has happened. We feel that it is important to let public know that we have received full support from our company. We do not feel like an employee but we feel as a part of a big family. We have been loyal to this company for past several years. We do not want any one to hurt or jeopardize the name of the company.''

The 30-year-old BPO employee was walking towards her home in Moti village near Dhaula Kuan early last Wednesday morning along with her colleague when five men in a vehicle abducted her and took turns to rape her. She was later dumped in Mongolpuri.
