NEW DELHI: Heroic action by the Delhi Policeand a cab driver foiled what could have been another Dhaula Kuan-type abduction and molestation of a young woman in a moving vehicle, in the wee hours of Sunday.
In an operation code-named 'Mousetrap' that lasted an hour, cops located and chased down a Scorpio in which five drunken youths had abducted an employee of a Gurgaon nightclub, and finally rescued the 24-year-old woman at a jungle road near Aya Nagar in south Delhi, around 4.10am. Two of her assailants were nabbed while three managed to get away.
The youths had been following the woman, who along with three others had hailed a radio taxi around 2.30am from Gurgaon's Sahara Mall to return to their residence in Badarpur. At the Ghitorni Metro Station, the youths in their Scorpio forced the cab to stop and tried to pull out the women. The cab driver, Amit Sharma, resisted the assailants. He was beaten up and even offered Rs 1,000 to let the occupants out of his Alto. The accused then dragged the 24-year-old victim, who was sitting on the front seat, into their SUV and drove off.
"They took all the four mobile phones from the women so they could not make calls," said DCP (South) Chhaya Sharma. The men also tried to force another woman into their Scorpio but failed, she said....
