There have been many incidents of violence, loot, even rape and murder in cabs in recent years. Though not all incidents can be related to fake identities and fake documents being used, it cannot be denied that the lack of a mechanism to ensure the identity of the driver in a cab is a major safety loophole.
The incident occurred when six men of the village Pathargatti, 350 km from Patna, knocked on victim's door on Monday night asking for water and then forcibly entered the house, dragged her outside and raped her as they made her father watch.
