KOLKATA: A 25-year-old woman was once molested via her copassengers in an auto overdue on Sunday between Dhakuria and Jadavpur police station. Shockingly, no person came to her assist in what's one of south Kolkata’s busiest stretches, forcing her to leap out when the car slowed down. She might have escaped a worse destiny, however the 120-second auto experience has most certainly left her with lifelong scars.
According to the cops, the girl, who works for an NGO, had long gone to attend a programme at Dhakuria’s Madhusudan Mancha with a pal. Afterwards, they had dinner sooner than her buddy boarded a bus and left. The woman made up our minds to board an auto to the Jadavpur PS, from where she planned to take every other auto to her Prince Anwar Shah Road house.
She found an auto round 10.20pm in front of a popular eating place on Gariahat Road (south). “There have been four passengers. Three have been within the rear seat, whilst the third was once sitting to the driver’s proper,” mentioned an investigating officer at Lake police station. “Finding the left seat unoccupied, she sat beside the driver. Within seconds, she found someone touching her inappropriately. Initially, she attempted to re-adjust her sitting position, but soon learned that her clothes had been slashed via someone, most certainly with a blade. The woman requested the car driver to prevent, but he paid no heed. Forced to defend herself, she gathered all her braveness and jumped off the car when it slowed slightly in front of Jadavpur PS. She was once hurt but she persisted her journey again house. She complained to us on Monday.”
The Lake PS has registered a case. But, virtually 24 hours after the FIR was once registered, the accused — together with the car driver — have no longer yet been arrested. The cops are trawling through hours of CCTV photos to get leads.
“The passengers within the rear seat stressed her with unwelcome physical contact. We have registered a case in this regard beneath sections 354A and 354B of the IPC, relating molestation. We are sparing no effort to identify the car through which the girl was once travelling and nab the accused,” mentioned DC (Southeast) Kalyan Mukherjee.
Cops imagine the car involved may well be one plying at the Garia-Golpark course. “It is the one auto provider on this stretch. But it's imaginable that it's person who plies steadily on a different course. Statements of a number of auto drivers who have been seen crossing the stretch at the moment have been recorded but no major lead has emerged yet,” mentioned an investigating officer.
When contacted, the girl refused to talk to the clicking.
