A woman was allegedly raped by the conductor of a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus and his friend on the pretext of getting her a job in the government-owned transport undertaking, the police said on Wednesday.
One of the accused was arrested while the other is on the run, the police informed further. However, the police did not clarify if the accused conductor was arrested.
An FIR against the accused, under relevant IPC sections, was registered at Timarpur police station.
The police informed that the woman had been living by herself at Timarpur in the national capital since 2021 where she met the accused.
She used to be employed as a typist at DTC from 2014 to 2017, the police said, adding that she left her job after becoming a mother.
According to the police, the accused came to her residence one day with 'prasad' (eatables offered to god) and told her that he could find her a job in the DTC.
The woman lost consciousness as she ate the prasad, the police added.
Further, according to the police, as the woman lost consciousness, the accused raped her and made a video of the act with which she started blackmailing her later.
The woman reported the incident to a friend of the accused, police said, adding that on the pretext of deleting the video of the lewd act, the friend of the accused, too, raped her.
An investigation is underway in the matter, police said.
Further details are awaited. (ANI)
