A 45 year old auto-rickshaw driver
identified as Aagya Pal Singh and his brother have been arrested for allegedly
molesting an unidentified 22-year-old Nigerian girl pursuing her second year
graduation from a Delhi University college in West Delhi, India.
According to reports, the young Nigerian girl was out to visit her friend 's home around 1.30 a.m. on Friday January 8th and had gotten into a hired auto-rickshaw in Tilak Nagar, when another man entered the vehicle and sat next to her.
The two men allegedly took turns to molest her in the running vehicle. When she resisted, they pushed her out of the running vehicle, injuring her.
Since the crime spot was not an auto stand, police were clueless about the identity of the suspects. Indian police scanned 17 CCTV cameras in the area, but had no luck.

“Only one CCTV had captured the
auto, but the registration number was unreadable. The woman’s frequent use of
local language and her heavy-accented broken English turned out to be an
additional barrier for the investigating officers,” Pushpendra Kumar, DCP
(West), told Indian newspaper, The Hindu.
The 45 year old man was
arrested at his home on Monday January 11th . He confessed to the crime. “The
arrested suspect was driving the auto-rickshaw while his brother Baljeet Singh
was the one who sat next to the victim. Finding the woman alone in the dead of
the night, the brothers tried to take advantage of her,” said a police officer.
