NEW DELHI: A 30-year-old sales executive was arrested on Monday for allegedly raping a 20-year-old girl from Manipur five days ago, after giving her lift while she was returning home from office.

Anuj Saini, a graduate residing in Gurgaon, was apprehended from his house when he came there to collect some items, deputy commissioner of police (South-West) A K Ojha said. He is married and has a child.

The victim was waiting for public transport after she finished her office work on January 18 night in Gurgaon when he offered her lift to her residence in Mahipalpur but instead of taking her to her house, he allegedly took her to Dwarka.

Though she screamed inside the car but man allegedly took her to an isolated place in Dwarka Sector 20, beat her up and raped her repeatedly.

"Investigators managed to obtain vital clues including two debit cards suspected to belong to the accused from the crime scene. The debit cards found on the scene of crime were later found in the name of one Saini along with his other personal details.

"On the basis of the above information the police teams managed to locate the address of the suspect. Thereafter a massive manhunt was launched to nab the accused. However, he was not found present in the given address," Ojha said.

Police teams were even sent to Jaipur and Gurgaon on inputs but he could not be nabbed.

"We had information that he would come to his residence to pick up some money and clothes and would immediately leave for a hill-station in order to evade arrest. We laid a trap around his residence of the accused and succeeded in overpowering and apprehending him," Ojha said.

During questioning, he claimed, Saini tried to hoodwink police by narrating the story of his wife's ill health and later told them that he was in Jaipur on January 18.

However, Ojha claimed, Saini confessed when he was confronted with facts.
