EW DELHI: Actress Nikita Rawal, who was recently robbed of Rs 6-7 lakhs at gunpoint in Shastri Nagar, New Delhi, is extremely anxious and afraid, especially of the people in the national capital.

Recalling her horrific incident, Nikita told ANI that she had arrived in Delhi for a guest appearance at an engagement party. She was accompanied by her younger sister. While they were returning from the event to her aunt’s place in Shastri Nagar at around 10 pm, her car was stopped by goons whose faces were covered with masks and monkey caps. They had a gun and a knife. They abused and threatened her, and demanded to give them everything that she was carrying. “I went completely blank…my mind kept recalling the Nirbhaya incident…I kept wondering where will these people take us, what will they do…will they insert a rod…how many people will rape us…I also had my younger sister with me,” Nikita said.

When the goons left, the sisters, somehow, managed to reach their aunt’s place but were still deeply disturbed. “I went to my aunt’s home and locked myself in the wardrobe…I kept wondering if they were still following us,” Nikita added. Once she regained her senses, she called up her mother, brother and lawyer and informed them of the devastating event. She left for Mumbai the next morning. Nikita shared that she will have to come back to Delhi in order to file the official complaint at the police station in Shastri Nagar. She explained that she could not do so earlier because she wanted to ensure her safety first.

Swearing she would never take another project in Delhi, Nikita said, “I have to go back…because the victim has to file the complaint…but I will go back because this time my mother, brother and lawyer would accompany me. So, I will feel safe otherwise I will never accept any event assignment in Delhi, I am so shocked.”

The actress claimed that she was robbed of her diamond rings, Rolex watch, gold chains, and cash, including some part of her payment from the event, with a total value approximating over Rs 6-7 lakhs. However, Nikita emphasised that her safety is more important.
