2 DU students arrested after women allege SUV chase, harassment: ‘Red suits you’
In a video, one of the students said she and her friend were walking from Hakikat Park towards Old Gupta Colony when a white SUV approached them.
Two Delhi University law students, Abhimanyu and Abhinav, have been arrested in connection with the alleged stalking and harassment of two female students in Mukherjee Nagar, northwest Delhi, police announced. The third suspect, Naman, who was driving the SUV involved in the incident, remains at large. The arrests came after a complaint was filed on Wednesday evening, around 9:30 pm, by the two victims who were walking near Hakikat Park.
According to the police, the incident began when the white SUV approached the women, who were heading towards Old Gupta Colony. The occupants allegedly made lewd comments and rolled down their windows, with one of the men allegedly saying, “Red suits you.” The women objected to the lewd behavior, and the men became aggressive, allegedly abusing the women when they responded.
The SUV then allegedly began to follow the women, and when they stopped near Old Gupta Colony, the occupants allegedly attempted to force the women into the vehicle. The friend of one of the women recorded the incident on her phone, after which the SUV left the scene. Police later traced the vehicle to a parking area in Bhalswa Dairy, outer Delhi, where it had accumulated 18 pending challans for traffic violations, including speeding and using tinted glass.
This case follows another recent sexual assault in Delhi, where a 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three men in Aastha Kunj Park. She managed to lead investigators to the crime scene, providing forensic evidence that aided the prosecution. All three accused in the Mukherjee Nagar case are students at DU's Faculty of Law.
