According to Indian police sources, the suspect was apprehended six months after the heinous act, adding that the suspect grabbed the victim’s phone and wallet and shut off in fear of being tracked down by authorities.

After more than five months of assuming that he was no longer a suspect, the suspect turned on his cell phone and was quickly apprehended by Indian police.

The accused, Jaswant Tomar, is from Sambhal district and currently resides in Kulesara village, Noida.

“A 22-year-old woman filed a complaint on July 21,2022, that she was walking back home with a friend after work at 9pm. When the two girls crossed Hosiery Complex in Phase 2 area, two men came from behind and dragged her to the green belt area on the opposite side of the road and raped her. It was found that the friend managed to escape from the spot.” Saad Miya Khan the Additional Deputy Commissioner Police (ADCP) of central Noida, stated

Tomar runs a tea stall near the incident site in the manufacturing area.

The police commissioner further added that “During interrogation, Tomar confessed to have been behind the act along with his brother-in-law Abhay Pratap.

Tomar had switched on the phone in order to use it later.
