Bike Taxi Driver: Crime Occurred During Return Trip

According to the T-5 Vanagaram Police, the woman had booked a bike taxi late on Monday night to travel to Pakkikaranai to visit a friend. After reaching her destination, she requested the driver to wait so that he could drop her back home later.

During the return journey in the early hours of Tuesday, Sivakumar allegedly diverted the route to a deserted stretch, where he threatened and sexually assaulted the woman. After committing the crime, he reportedly dropped her back home as if nothing had happened.
