The accused driver, in his 30s, was soon arrested by police after the girl approached them with her complaint.
"The incident took place when the girl, who works as a coordinator for a modelling agency, hired an auto from Vasant Kunj to travel to her Green Park home. The auto driver stopped the vehicle at a secluded place where he first tried to snatch her handbag and then touched her inappropriately," police said.
Based on her statement, police at Vasant Kunj (south) registered a case of molestation and launched a manhunt for the accused.
"The victim had noted down the registration number of the auto and the driver was soon nabbed," police added.
