In a horrifying incident, a shopkeeper, under the influence of alcohol, along with six more assailants, brutally assaulted four women, including a 16-year-old girl in north-east Delhi’s Tahirpur area, over an issue of car parking. Delhi police failed to reach on time and blamed the victims for their personal enmity, claimed the family.
The incident took place on late Sunday evening at around 9 pm in Tahirpur area when four women returned to their residence after shopping in Krishna Nagar. Among the four victims, there was a 23-year-old girl whose wedding was set for next month. The accused pulled her hair, punched her on her ear and left her bleeding. The victims also include her 16-year-old sister, her mother and her aunt.
According to the victims, when they parked the car outside the shop of Bijender (42), he immediately came out of his shop and objected to the placement of their car outside the shop.
‘Bijender started abusing them. When the 23-year-old and her aunt got off the car, he slapped and assaulted her. Meanwhile, six other goons gathered and molested them all,’ the victims told the police. All the accused were also brutally beaten up and were left bleeding.
‘Two of the accused tried to abduct the minor girl into a car and tried to rape her. When the 23-year-old opposed the act, they pulled her hair out. They dragged her by her hair for few meters and assaulted her again,’ the complaint registered at GTB Enclave police station reads.
Hearing noise in the area, locals gathered and rescued all the victims. ‘While the crime was being perpetrated, Delhi police received five calls to the police control room. The first call was made at 9 pm informing about a quarrel on the street. The next two calls alleged kidnapping. The last two PCR calls, that were made by an unidentified person, told the cops about attempt to rape,’ a source in Delhi police department said.
Before the cops could reach the crime scene, the main accused managed to escape. However, he was later nabbed on Monday morning.
Speaking to Millennium Post, the official close to investigation said that both parties, the victim and accused, had an ongoing dispute over parking in the past few years. To take revenge, the victim have allegedly exaggerated the charges to molestation, attempt to rape and attempt to abduct.
