Mizo Girl Rape Case: 4 Detained in Delhi

rape-accusedNew Delhi, Nov 29 : Four persons were today detained in connection with the rape and abduction of a Mizo woman in south Delhi with the investigators saying these people were “very relevant” to the case.

DCP (South) H G S Dhaliwal said 15 teams were working on the case and they were looking into all possibilities.

“We have detained four persons who have criminal background. The suspects are very relevant to the case...We are looking at all possibilities. The detentions are based on some inputs. There is a definite trail,” he said.

However, Mr. Dhaliwal said it was an early stage of the probe.

On November 24, the victim was walking towards her home in Moti Village near Dhaula Kuan in the morning along with one of her colleagues when some men in a vehicle abducted her and took turns to rape her. She was later dumped in Mongolpuri after which she approached police.

Asked whether investigators have ascertained which vehicle was used for the abduction, Mr. Dhaliwal said it could be a Mahindra pick-up van but they were waiting for results of laboratory tests.

Police said they have released two sketches of suspected culprits, besides questioning several suspects, surfing through CCTV footage and recording statements of three witnesses.

Investigators had also rummaged through mobile phone records of a number of “possible” suspects residing in Mongolpuri area as they believe that the culprits were “very familiar” with the locality and they could be staying there.
