New Delhi, April 25: A Delhi traffic police constable, who was arrested for allegedly raping a teenaged girl in a moving car, was sacked from service.

Constable Sanjeev Kumar and a property dealer Naresh Kumar allegedly raped a 11-year-old girl in a moving car on Thursday after picking her up from Shahbad Dairy locality in outer Delhi.

"The constable has been dismissed from service after he was arrested in connection with the rape case," Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said.

Police said Sanjeev has confessed to his crime.

A case of kidnapping and rape has been registered against them.

Sanjeev and Naresh, who were arrested on Thursday itself after the incident came to light, were produced before Metropolitan Magistrate D K Jangala, who sent them to judicial custody till May 9.

During the production of the accused, Magistrate asked police why it did not invoke Section 34 of Indian Penal Code (common intention to commit crime) against the duo.

The investigating officer informed the court that police would add the charge.

Thursday's rape was the second such incident of a minor girl being sexually assaulted in a moving car this month. A 12-year-old girl was raped allegedly by three persons known to her on April 3 in Jhwala locality.

According to Delhi police statistics, 581 rape cases were registered in 2007.
