The case of rape of a 20-year-old girl in a car in South Delhi's Moti Bagh area will be recommended for trial in a fast-track court, Delhi Police said today.
The girl, a resident of Noida, who had come to Delhi looking for a job, was waiting for a bus near AIIMS on Wednesday evening when the accused Avneesh (28), driving a car, which had a sticker of the Home Ministry, offered to drop her and then sexually assaulted her.
Avneesh raped the girl inside the car in a secluded area but she managed to flee around midnight and was found by a police patrol team which brought her to South Campus police station in the wee hours yesterday.
The accused has been arrested, police said adding they will file the chargesheet soon.
"We will quickly file the chargesheet in the case. We will request that the trial take place in a fast-track court," DCP(South) Ishwar Singh said.
