In a chilling incident that has sparked outrage, the Jamhore police in Aurangabad, Bihar, have arrested an auto-rickshaw driver for the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old minor girl. The crime took place near Parsia village after the driver diverted the victim from her intended destination.
The Night of the Crime
The victim, a resident of the Kaimur/Bhabua district, had traveled to Aurangabad for employment purposes. On the evening of the incident, around 8:00 PM, she boarded an auto-rickshaw at Jasoia in Aurangabad city. Her goal was to reach the Anugrah Narayan Railway Station to continue her journey.
