A 24-year-old female journalist was allegedly molested and attacked by two men in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar area on Thursday evening. Surprisingly, the journalist caught one of the attackers with the aid of a passerby and handed him over to the police, while the other assailant managed to escape.
The incident took place on Thursday evening when the journalist was returning to her house. Mid-way, while passing near a school, two persons approached her and passed lewd comments and displayed obscene gestures.
When the journalist opposed the act, the duo started using abusive language and molested her. While she caught hold of the one of the men, a passerby noticed her in action with the accused.
The passerby tried to intervene. However, one of the accused managed to flee whereas the journalist managed to grip the other accused by his collar. A PCR call was made by the passerby and when the team reached the spot, she handed over him to the cops.
The accused has been identified as Shafiq who hails from Begusarai in Bihar. In the past two years he was residing in east Delhi. The other accused has also been identified as Fantoos. The police official claims that both of them are rickshaw pullers.
A case under the appropriate sections including molestation and outraging the modesty of a woman was lodged against them at Mayur Vihar police station.
