A cab driver allegedly attempted to molest a 38-year-old woman and robbed her of Rs 60,000 near Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad on September 26. The incident occurred near the Kothwalguda service road, close to the site of the 2019 Disha case. The woman, a resident of Nalgonda, had booked the cab from Jadcherla to Hyderabad and agreed to pay an extra Rs 50 when asked. The driver stopped at a deserted location around 8.30 pm and allegedly tried to molest her, after which she raised an alarm and got out. The driver then snatched her bag and sped away.
The complaint was filed with RGIA Police, and an FIR was registered under Sections 74, 318(4), and 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). An investigation has been initiated. The 2019 Disha case, where a veterinarian was gang-raped and murdered near the same toll gate, led to public outrage and the accused were killed in a police encounter later probed by the Supreme Court.
