Girl fights molestation bid, kin attacked with bricks
Aditya Dev | TNN | Jan 28, 2019, 07:12 ISTGhaziabad: The family members of an 18-year-old girl were attacked by a group of 15-20 people with bricks after the girl resisted a molestation attempt by some youths in Kavi Nagar area on Saturday evening. The accused had been harassing her for the past six months, the girl’s father said.
The accused has been identified as Sachin, his father Sanjay, their relative Bhola and some unidentified persons, all residents of the same locality in Kavi Nagar.
The girl’s father, who works as an electrician, said on Sunday: “Sachin and his friends had been harassing my daughter, who is pursuing BSc, over the phone and whenever she passed through their colony.”
He added, “My daughter informed her mother about it and she asked her to ignore their comments. However, when the harassment increased, she informed me about their unruly behaviour. I tried to reason with Sachin’s father and asked him to stop his son from harassing my daughter.”
He further alleged that Sachin had once again harassed his daughter on Saturday evening while she was returning home. When she resisted, Sachin slapped her. After some time Sachin, his father and their accomplices attacked the girl’s family with sticks, bricks and stones.
In the attack, some of the neighbours, who came to their rescue, were also injured. One of them received 15 stitches on his head after a brick hit him. The girl’s father said the accused fled the spot after issuing threats to burn down their house. “All members of my family, comprising my wife, two daughters and a son were injured in the attack,” he said.
Following the attack, the police were informed about the incident on Dial 100.
An FIR has been registered under sections 147 (rioting), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 354 D (stalking) of the IPC at Kavi Nagar police station.
SHO, Kavi Nagar, Raj Kumar Sharma said an investigation was on in the case.
