The Indica car in which the alleged crime took place was found today at Khirki Extension area under Malviya Nagar police station, a police source said, adding that several mobile phones and women's garments were recovered from inside the vehicle.
The accused, Gagan alias Gurvinder, who has been arrested, had purchased the car from a Khirki Extension resident around three months ago, but he allegedly did not get any sale agreement done, police said.
Gagan had been misleading police in every point of the investigation due to which the recovery of the car took time, the source added.
Meanwhile, the other accused in the case, identified as an Uzbek woman named Naaz, is still at large.
