NEW DELHI: A 28-year-old Uber bike rider has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 2I-year-old passenger and robbing her of ₹5,000 at a secluded area near the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Village in east Delhi last Friday afternoon, police said.
Deputy commissioner of police (East) Abhishek Dhania said the complainant, originally from Almora in Uttarakhand and employed with a private firm in Noida, had reached Anand Vihar by bus around 3.40pm on Friday. From there, she booked an Uber bike to return to her rented flat in Khoda Colony. The accused, identified as Ajay Rayal, arrived on a scooter and picked her up.
“Instead of taking the route shown on the map, the rider diverted towards a deserted stretch near the CWG Village and began molesting her,” said Dhania.
