Taxi driver, aides rape, murder tourist

A 27-year-old Delhi woman, who was on a holiday with her friend during the Diwali break, was raped, robbed and killed by a cab driver and his accomplices in Uttarakhand. The couple had left for the hill state on October 21 and went missing two days later. Police suspect the couple were killed on Diwali night on October 23.

Four men were arrested, cab driver Raju Das, Bablu, Guddu and Kundan, in connection with the case. One of them, Bablu, has confessed to raping the woman. “We are trying to find the girl’s body. This will help establish if she was raped or not,” said Uttarkashi superintendent of police Jagatram Joshi.

The couple was returning to Dehradun from the popular Tiger Falls in a taxi when three men, who claimed to be friends of Das, joined them. The men robbed them, raped the woman and then killed them, according to the police. The man’s body was found in Purola in Uttarkashi district, and the woman's body is yet to be found.

The case could have been solved earlier had the Uttarakhand Police taken the call details of the woman's friend seriously. The call log showed the last person the man spoke to was Raju Das, said a south Delhi officer.
