A 29-year-old auto rickshaw driver was today arrested for allegedly raping a woman here, the police said.
The woman (22), hailing from Dehradun, was allegedly raped by three men, including an auto rickshaw driver, on November 17, they said.
She had taken the auto rickshaw after attending a stenography class from sector 37 here.
One of the accused, identified as Mohammad Irfan, was arrested while two others were still at large, the police said.
