Woman says two men on a bike chased and pushed her off scooter near Delhi metro station
A 21-year-old design student alleges that two men on a bike chased, harassed and forced her off her scooter near Panchsheel Park Metro station in Delhi.
A fourth-year design student from Okhla reported that, shortly after midnight on September 11, two men on a bike began following her near Panchsheel Park Metro station, shouting remarks and attempting to intimidate her. When she accelerated, the men kept pace and eventually rode alongside her scooter, allegedly using the bike to shove her off balance. The fall sent her sliding for about 100-150 metres, resulting in injuries to her limbs and face.
Two men on a separate scooter rescued her and escorted her to Max Hospital, where she later left at her request. Delhi police opened a case for rash driving under Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, but the investigation remains ongoing and no arrests have been made.
Why it matters
