NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has registered a case five months after a woman from Northeast India alleged racial abuse and physical assault in the Vasant Kunj area, officials said on Wednesday. The woman from Nagaland visited a house in Vasant Kunj with a friend last December, where she was allegedly assaulted and subjected to racial slurs, a police officer said.
No FIR was filed initially when she approached the police. She later moved court, prompting a case to be registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya
Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Police cited her absence from Delhi and insufficient grounds at the time as reasons for the delay.
