A police officer said, "In February, the woman's husband was admitted to Thane mental hospital. The driver came home when she was alone and demanded his share in the property. She said she would hire an advocate for that. Enraged, the accused raped her." He added that since then the auto driver had repeatedly raped and threatened the woman.
After nine months of being sexually abused, the woman finally mustered up the courage and lodged a complaint against him. The police officer said, "He was arrested immediately. We have sent the two for a medical examination."
