Derogatory question to the girl due to quarrel with wife

Rickshaw driver sent to three days in police custody

Aurangabad:

A minor girl jumped from a running rickshaw after the auto driver asked her an indecent question. The driver was caught by the Kranti Chowk police. During interrogation, he confessed that he had drank alcohol after having a quarrel with his wife and spoken obscenely to the girl under the influence of alcohol. The court sent the accused to police custody for three days, said PI Ganpat Darade.

According to police, rickshaw driver Syed Akbar Syed Hameed (39, Plot No 156, Kaiserbagh, Padegaon), started asking personal questions to a minor girl who sat in his rickshaw from Gopal Tea point.

The girl sustained serious head injury and is undergoing treatment in a private hospital. The Kranti Chowk police immediately searched and arrested driver Syed Akbar.

The police speculated that some auto drivers have a habit of taunting the girls sitting in the rickshaw in a similar manner and the accused might have behaved like this with the girl after their chat. They will get more information from the accused in the police custody.
