The cycle-rickshaw puller who allegedly bashed up and raped a 77-year-old woman in the national capital's Rohini area, has been arrested.
The arrested person has been identified as Bhola (22) who hails from Madhya Pradesh.
After the incident that took place in outer Delhi's Rohini area, barely 200 metres from K N Katju Marg police station, police had rounded up around 100 rickshaw pullers and grilled them.
"Bhola was arrested from outer Delhi area," a police official said.
The incident took place when the victim, who had gone to her sister's residence in Rohini Sector 15, was returning home in a cycle rickshaw. The woman was found by a passerby in a badly bruised condition early morning the next day.
According to police, the victim's sister usually used to accompany her, but on that day she was alone and struck a deal with the rickshaw puller for Rs 25 for ferrying her to Sector 7 in Rohini.
However, the rickshaw puller took a different route and rode into the Japanese Park area, police said.
The victim's family had claimed that the rickshaw puller suddenly overturned the rickshaw and picked up an argument with her.
The victim, who has two sons, then offered more money and asked him to take her home faster. However, he allegedly hit her with a brick, made her smell some chemicals following which she became semi-conscious and then he raped her.
This incident comes seven days after a young girl of Delhi University was shot dead near her college by an alleged stalker and an 83-year-old woman strangled by two youths during a robbery at her house.
