A 20-year-old woman was allegedly abducted, sexually assaulted and publicly humiliated by her neighbors, who paraded her on the streets of Delhi’s Shahdara over “personal enmity”, police said on Thursday. Police said the accused also allegedly chopped off the woman’s hair and forced her to wear a garland of chappals around her neck.
The Delhi Commission for Women has written to the Delhi Police to take strict action against the accused after several videos of misbehavior went viral on social media.
DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal posted a tweet saying, “… Illegal liquor sellers gang-raped a 20 year old girl, made her bald, put on a garland of slippers and blackened her face all over the area. Done it. I am issuing notice to Delhi Police. All criminal men and women should be arrested and girl and her family should be given security.
While the police denied the gang rape allegations, they said the woman was sexually assaulted by her neighbours.
