The auto driver took the auto to a secluded area on the slip road along the highway in Sector 53. He along with an aide took the girl to a forested area along the road and raped her at knifepoint. The similarity in modus operandi in the two cases made the police probe their role in the previous gangrape. Although the victim initially identified him during the identification parade, his sketch was not made part of the chargesheet submitted in court. The case is being heard before a special court and will be taken up on March 15.
