Overview
- Two women walking near Haqiqat Park say occupants of a white Tata Safari followed them on Wednesday evening, made indecent remarks and tried to drag them into the vehicle before fleeing when one victim began recording.
- A video posted by a victim helped trigger public attention and evidence collection and an FIR was later filed at Mukherjee Nagar police station under BNS sections 78 (stalking), 79 (insulting modesty) and 3(5) (common intention).
- Police have seized the SUV and arrested two suspects named Abhinav and Abhimanyu while a third identified student, Naman, who is reported to be the driver, remains absconding and is being sought in continuing raids.
- Interrogations of the two arrested students reportedly included statements that all three had consumed alcohol before the incident and police are probing whether more people were involved.
- Victims say they first visited multiple stations, including Maurice Nagar, before the complaint was registered, raising questions about initial police handling as the accused—reported to be first-year DU Faculty of Law students—face court production and further investigation.
