A Delhi University student was allegedly harassed by four men in a Safari car near Hakikat Park in north Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar on the night of September 23. The woman said the men made lewd comments and misbehaved. Police traced the vehicle to its owner and identified the driver as Naman, son of Anil Kumar.
An FIR has been registered at Mukherjee Nagar police station under sections 78, 79 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), relating to stalking, insulting the modesty of a woman and common intention. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Akansha Yadav said the accused have been identified and the investigation is underway.
Delhi University Students Union president Yash Dabas met the police and said an FIR was lodged. He questioned the police response, saying the woman had to approach multiple stations. The incident follows a recent gang rape of a 17-year-old in southeast Delhi, prompting increased police patrols in student areas.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Times Now report provides the most detail, naming the DCP and including DUSU president Yash Dabas's criticism of the police response, while the Times of India report is briefer and omits Dabas's remarks entirely. Neither source questions the complainant's account, and both present the police as acting promptly. The balanced reading is that police registered the FIR quickly but the student leader's comment indicates dissatisfaction with the earlier response. The investigation's next step is tracing the three other occupants of the vehicle.
