Mumbai: In a bizarre incident, a Railway Protection Force constable allegedly raped a taxi-driver for reportedly refusing to give him a ride to the red-light area, on Sunday, police said here on Monday.
###
The shocking incident occurred when the taxi driver was relaxing on a bench at the P. D’Mello Road, near the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) last evening.
###
The RPF constable identified as one Amit Dhankad, who approached the cabby and asked for a ride to one of the prostitution dens in the Grant Road area of south Mumbai.
###
When the cabby refused, an enraged Dhankad brutally assaulted him, dragged him to a corner in the railway premises and had unnatural sex with him.
###
Later, he left the victim and decamped with his money, taxi keys and other belongings, said the police.
###
Following the cabby’s complaint a team of MRA Marg Police reached the spot and subsequently arrested Dhankad on Monday under various sections of Indian Penal Code.
###
Taking serious cognizance of the shocking incident, the RPF has suspended Dhankad from his duties and further investigations are under way.
