Woman allegedly chased, harassed, pushed off scooter by bike-borne men near Panchsheel Park Metro station in Delhi

A 21-year-old woman was allegedly chased and harassed by two unidentified men on a motorcycle in Delhi’s Hauz Khas area, resulting in serious injuries, according to reports. The incident is believed to have occurred between midnight and 1 am on September 11-12, as the woman was returning home from her internship in Saket. She was reportedly traveling towards Kalkaji on her scooty when the men began following her near Panchsheel Park and the Metro station.

The men allegedly passed remarks and teased her while she was riding. The woman attempted to accelerate away from them, but they continued to follow and struck her scooty with their motorcycle. She lost control, fell onto the road and skidded approximately 100-150 meters on a stretch covered with stones, gravel and dust. Due to the severity of her injuries, including deep cuts, heavy bleeding, and extensive abrasions to her legs, arms, and face, doctors advised her to undergo plastic surgery.

The incident was initially treated as a road accident, and the police registered an FIR against the two unidentified men under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws related to stalking, harassment, and causing grievous injuries. Police are investigating the case and have checked CCTV footage, though no cameras were present at the exact location of the fall. The case has raised concerns over women's safety on Delhi-NCR roads, especially at night.
