The Delhi police today released the sketch of a third suspect among the five men who abducted and raped a 30-year-old BPO employee last week besides impounding a truck which could have possibly been used in the crime.

"We have released a third sketch this evening," a senior police officer said. Two sketches were released on November 26 and 27.

The victim was walking towards her home in Moti village near Dhaula Kuan in south Delhi in the wee hours on Wednesday along with one of her colleagues when the men in a vehicle abducted her and took turns to rape her. She was later dumped in Mongolpuri after which she approached the police.

Investigators questioned four persons detained in connection with the case for another day today even as they claimed to have achieved some success in identifying the make of the vehicle used in the crime.

"We are still questioning the four men who were detained yesterday. We have impounded a truck which could have possibly been used in the crime. But we are not sure," the official said. The detained persons were "very relevant" to the case, he said.

Investigators have been groping in the dark for the past few days despite 15 special teams being formed to nab the culprits. Two sketches were released by police besides questioning several suspects, surfing through CCTV footage and recording statements of three witnesses.

Investigators had also gone through mobile phone records of a number of "possible" suspects residing in Mongolpuri area as they believe that the culprits were "very familiar" with the locality and they could be staying there.

Meanwhile, CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat said the incident was a result of "utter failure" of the police.
