Woman assaulted, shoved into car by man on busy Delhi road; police starts probe
New Delhi: A viral video of a woman being beaten by a man and shoved into a cab has prompted the police to start a probe into the incident that occurred on Saturday on a busy road at Mangolpuri in North West Delhi.
The man can be seen beating the woman in the middle of the busy road, pushing her into the cab, and punching her repeatedly even inside the cab while another man accompanying him and the cab driver watch. They then get inside the cab and drive away.
Though the woman was assaulted in the middle of a busy road, no one tried to rescue the woman.
As the video went viral, police took cognisance of the assault and launched a probe on Saturday night, said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Outer District, Delhi Police.
