Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A rickshaw-puller who allegedly tried to criminally assault a visually-impaired woman before robbing her of a mobile phone at Timarpur here on Monday has been arrested. The police have also arrested his accomplice after the stolen mobile phone was found in his possession.

According to the police, Shyam Sunder was arrested on Tuesday afternoon. During interrogation, he purportedly confessed to having committed the crime.
