Two men were arrested for allegedly raping a 29-year-old woman in Greater Noida after she took a taxi from Ansal Plaza here, the police said today.
On November 15, the woman had approached K N Katju Police Station with a complaint that she had been raped the night before, they said.
In her complaint, the woman said that around midnight, she had taken a taxi from near Ansal Plaza to go to her home in Rohini. The taxi driver, Praveen Kumar (22), allowed another person to board the vehicle and soon they started misbehaving with her, the police said.
