Police said a woman was assaulted, molested, and threatened twice in five days by men who did not want her to feed and walk pet or community dogs in the Baba Haridas Nagar area of southwest Delhi.
Three people, including two of her neighbors, were arrested and a minor was apprehended in connection with the first incident. The police are now looking for two more people who assaulted her on Friday and threatened her with depositions in the previous case.
Deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka) Harsha Vardhan Mandava said that on January 22, a case of assault, wrongful restraint, molestation, sexual harassment and threatening was registered after the woman alleged that she was stopped and threatened by three people on a motorcycle who told her not to fight with her two neighbours – Iran and Imran — over the issue of feeding and walking dogs in the area. During the investigation, the suspects were identified as Shivam, Dileep alias Kale and a minor boy.
On January 23, a day after the incident, Shivam was arrested in connection with another case, and the minor was detained. Dileep, on the other hand, is still at large.
