NEW DELHI:
Police have booked the CISF constable, whose son’s driver was arrested for allegedly raping a 20-year-old woman in south Delhi’s Moti Bagh area, for “misusing” an MHA parking sticker.
Omkar Singh was issued a Ministry of Home Affairs parking sticker by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2014 since he had to visit the ministry for handing over files and other work reasons, said a senior police officer.
The sticker was valid from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. After the expiry, Singh didn’t return the sticker. Instead, he gave it to his son, Mohit, who pasted it on his car in which the girl was allegedly raped by the driver on December 14.
“A complaint was received from an authorised officer of Ministry of Agriculture regarding misuse of parking label which was entrusted to Omkar Singh of CISF.
“Based on the complaint, a case under sections 406 (Punishment for criminal breach of trust) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of IPC was registered at South Campus police station yesterday and Singh was arrested today morning,” said the officer.
He was produced before the Patiala House court and was granted bail on a bond of Rs 25,000, he added.
The girl, a resident of Noida, who was on a job-hunt, was allegedly raped in a car in south Delhi’s Moti Bagh area by accused Avneesh (28), driving a car which had a sticker of the Home Ministry on December 14. The accused driver was arrested on December 15.
