“We have proposed a reward of Rs one lakh. It will be duly notified,” H G S Dhaliwal,Deputy Commissioner of Police (South),said.

Delhi Police has not been able to make any arrest in the November 26 incident despite releasing sketches of three of the five suspects involved in the abduction and rape of the Mizo woman. But Dhaliwal said he was hopeful of an early breakthrough.

“We have detained a few people. We are questioning them. It is an ongoing process. It an elaborate exercise to arrive at a conclusion on who all are involved. We are hopeful of an early breakthrough,” Dhaliwal said.

However,he said,he cannot give a timeframe as to when they will be able to crack the case.
