Meanwhile, the driver and the cleaner of the truck, which hit the rape survivor's car, are also being questioned.
The number plates of the truck were also blackened, which the truck owner claimed was done to escape from loan recovery agents due to EMI defaults.
However, the loan agent confirmed that the owner did not default on payments, which triggered a fresh controversy.
