Two Delhi University students alleged that men in a car harassed and followed them near Mukherjee Nagar on September 23 around 9:30 p.m., then tried to pull them into the vehicle. Hindustan Times reported that police identified four accused and traced the Delhi-registered SUV, with teams conducting raids to arrest them. The men fled after one student's friend took out her phone to record the incident.
Delhi Police registered an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions for stalking, insulting a woman's modesty, and common intention. Indian Express reported the students alleged they were sent between multiple police stations for several hours before their complaint was registered, a claim police said they were examining.
Four Suspects Identified; Driver Named Naman Kumar
Police identified the driver as Naman Kumar, described in reports as a Delhi University student. Hindustan Times stated that two to three other people were in the SUV with him. One student alleged an occupant threatened them by claiming to be a relative of a station house officer (SHO).
Authorities traced the Delhi-registered vehicle and launched raids across the city to apprehend all four accused. The exact status of arrests remained unclear, with some reports suggesting arrests were imminent while others indicated investigations were still ongoing.
Incident Follows Recent Allegations of Delhi Violence
The harassment occurred just two days after an alleged gang rape at Astha Kunj Park. Indian Express also reported that an LSR students' WhatsApp group received a separate message about a man behaving indecently near National Park that same night, raising concerns about a pattern of incidents.
The timing sparked alarm among Delhi's student community. The incidents underscore ongoing safety concerns on and around university campuses in the capital city.
Students Allege Delays in Filing Police Complaint
The two students claimed that police sent them between multiple stations for several hours before registering their complaint. Indian Express reported their account of the delayed process. Police acknowledged the allegation and said they were examining the students' claims about how long the complaint took to file.
