NEW DELHI: Two young research scholars of Jawaharlal Nehru University were in for a shockwhen they were allegedly molested by two miscreants in Chittaranjan Park's Market Number 2.
The incident occurred on Sunday night around 10pm when the girls were waiting for an autorickshaw to return to their hostel. The girls lodged a police complaint following which one of the accused was nabbed. His associate was arrested on Monday.
The accused have been identified as Inder and Raju Sharma. Cops received a call around 10pm and rushed to the spot. A long chase ensued and the police managed to arrest Inder. A case has been registered under sections 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), and 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of IPC. The matter is being investigated .
The victims had gone to the area to meet a friend. While they were waiting for an autorickshaw , two youths - in their twenties - strolled towards them. "The duo began to pass lewd comments to which the girls objected. Following this, the accused manhandled the girls and warned them to keep mum," said a cop.
But the feisty girls were not deterred. They dialed 100 and asked for help and raised an alarm in the neighbourhood. During interrogation, Inder spilled the beans on his associate's whereabouts. A massive manhunt was lodged for Raju who was arrested on Monday morning.
