A 21-year-old woman was allegedly stalked and harassed by two men on a motorcycle, who rammed her scooty near Panchsheel Park metro station in South Delhi, leaving her seriously injured, police said on Tuesday. An FIR has been registered. The woman, who works in Saket, alleged the incident occurred on the night of September 11-12 while she was returning home. The men followed her, passed remarks, and hit her scooter, causing her to lose control and skid for 100-150 metres on a road covered with stones and dust.
She suffered deep cuts and extensive skin injuries, requiring plastic surgery at Medanta Hospital in Noida. Police initially received a road accident report, but later registered an FIR after a complaint from a lawyer representing the woman. Investigators could not trace the incident in available CCTV footage, and the complainant's cousin could not identify her or the accused. Police are in contact with the woman, who is recovering in her hometown and will join the investigation soon, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Anant Mittal.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Press Trust of India, relayed by rediff.com, leads with the woman's injuries and allegations, while noting police initially treated it as a road accident and could not verify the incident in CCTV footage. This balanced framing covers both the complaint and the investigation's challenges. The report highlights police efforts to verify allegations and identify the accused, without endorsing either side. The coverage is straight news reporting with no discernible slant. The next step is the woman's return to Delhi to join the investigation, which will likely clarify the sequence of events.
The stalking case follows a separate incident involving two DU students and a gang-rape, but these are distinct cases. The police have identified the alleged accused in one, and the investigation continues in the other. The woman's testimony will be crucial to determining what happened.
