Child escapes sexual assault by auto driver in Mumbai

Mumbai | Sunday | 22nd April, 2018

Summary:

The 33-year-old rickshaw driver was arrested on Saturday, thanks to the quick-witted child, who leapt out when the rickshaw halted at a signal and noted its number. An offer of a free rickshaw ride turned into a nightmare for an eight-year-old girl, who had to jump out of the vehicle to escape possible sexual assault. The driver, Jitendra Kumar Singh, first offered her some chips and water, which she refused. Later, he informed her that he would like to take her for a ride, which struck as suspicious to the child. Around 1.30 pm, the school got over and the child took a rickshaw to get home..
