NEW DELHI: A 29-year-old man allegedly bashed up a 26-year-old Russian woman and walked away with her belongings, including her passport. Police said the accused is the son of aBSP legislator from UP and was arrested in 2009 for allegedly firing in a south Delhi bar and creating ruckus there.

The accused has not been arrested yet, even though an FIR has been lodged. Police said the victim had landed in Delhi airport around 3am on Wednesday. She hired a cab and went to Freedom Fighter Colony in Mehrauli where two of herfriends are put up. The accused went to the airport to meet her; but when he did not find her there, he went to Freedom Fighter Colony in an inebriated condition, accompanied by a friend. He had a gun with him, the victim told cops.

"He allegedly threatened her of dire consequences if she didn't come with it. When she refused, he assaulted her. The victim told us that after the scuffle, he took away her credit cards, cellphones and even her passport. She dialled 100 and informed us about the incident and we rushed to the spot," said a senior police officer.

The woman was sent for medical examination. Police sources informed the accused called up the victim several times after learning about the police action. Cops said that the victim and the accused knew each other as they had earlier interned together at a firm in Gurgaon. "She was pursuing a course in architecture and later began to work as an architecture consultant with a firm in Gurgaon. She had gone home to Russia sometime ago," said a cop.

"We are going to record the statements of both and are verifying the claims. A case has been registered under Section 452 of the IPC and the Arms Act," said DCP (south) Chhaya Sharma. Police said that in 2009, had gone to the Mocha Bar at Nehru Place with his sister and had allegedly fired inside the bar. "He had also assaulted the guard there. He was arrested, his revolver was seized and his licence was cancelled," a senior cop said.
