Delhi Police registered 125 FIRs during this year’s India International Trade Fair (IITF) under various cognizable sections of IPC including a case of molestation in which a 50-year-old man was arrested from inside a pavilion on Monday.
The man identified as Om Prakash Jain, a resident of south Delhi’s Kotla Mubarakpur area after he allegedly molested a young female visitor in Hall No 3 of Pragati Maidan, the venue of India International Trade Fair (IITF).
‘Taking advantage of the rush, the man had inappropriately touched the woman in the pavilion. He was immediately arrested and a case of outraging the modesty of a woman was registered against him,’ Additional DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal.
The 34th India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2014 had started on November 14 and Thursday was its last day.
“We had maintained a strict approach this year and all the complaints in which there was a cognizable offence, we have registered FIRs. This year, we have registered 125 FIRs till today,” said Narwal.
The number of FIRs registered this year was fairly high as last year the number stood only at around 30. The kind of cases registered included those of theft and pick-pocketing.
According to police records, only 25 FIRs were registered at the IITF in 2013. “It is so because this year the cops at the temporary posts were asked to register each and every incident of cognizable offence, which was never so in the previous year,” said a senior police official.
