A 50-year-old woman was raped allegedly by an auto driver on Monday night in Chas town of Bokaro district in Jharkhand. The auto driver fled the scene, while the woman was admitted to Sadar hospital by police officials. The woman said the incident took place when she was visiting her daughter after a sudden deterioration in her health.
The victim said she took an auto from the Pindrajora police station area. She knew the auto driver and was on her way to Chas where her daughter lives. Dinesh, who was purportedly drunk, allegedly stopped the auto at a secluded place on Dhanbad-Purulia highway. He then forcefully ousted the woman from the auto and took her to the nearby bushes where he raped her.
Dinesh ran away with his auto while the 50-year-old woman was crying in pain. She somehow crawled her way to the highway where a police patrolling vehicle helped her. The police officials rushed her to a hospital and recorded her statement.
The woman is currently undergoing treatment while police have launched an investigation to nab the auto driver.
