Driver given RI for sexual abuse of visually-challenged woman

A court here today sentenced an auto driver to seven years rigorous imprisonment after finding him guilty of kidnap and sexual abuse of a visually-challenged woman.
Judge, Mahila Court, Meena Satish, convicted the 46-year- old auto driver Anbu Selvam for kidnap and sexual abuse of the 24-year old visually challenged woman and sentenced him to undergo seven years of rigorous imprisonment.
On March 21, 2010, the woman, a native of Vellore district, had come to Chennai to train in music.
She boarded an auto to go to a music school in Villivakkam here. However, the driver took a detour and took her to a secluded place and subjected her to sexual abuse despite the victim's pleadings with him to spare her.

Since he did not budge, she raised an alarm which was noticed by two school students. They, along with local residents, apprehended the driver and handed him over to police.
He was remanded to judicial custody. Later, he had obtained bail and after that he was sent again to Puzhal Central Prison about a month and half ago.
