several days by a taxi driver here, police said today.
The 16-year old victim, hailing from Sikar district, had arrived here in a bus few days back and hired the taxi of the accused Jitendra Banjara to reach her relative's house in the city, they said.
The driver, instead of taking her to the destination, took her to some isolated place and raped her. He threatened the victim of dire consequences if she told anybody about the incident and took her to his native village in Dausa district, police said.
The girl however managed to call her parents following which she was rescued and the accused was arrested last night, they said.
Further probes into the case are on, they added.
