On February 25, in Gaffar market area of Karol Bagh, the woman, whose name has not been revealed, was walking with her friend when a group of four to five men started harassing her.
After the men started trailing her, the woman and her friend took a rickshaw say reports. Even then the men did not back off, they followed the rickshaw while making lewd remarks. A crowd gathered when the woman got down from the rickshaw and beat him up. She dragged him to the nearby police station and filed a complaint.
Police have arrested the two men who have been identified as Manish and Abhishek, from Charkhi Dadri area in Haryana, around 100 km from Delhi.
Two months ago, a shocking CCTV footage showed two women, including a journalist, molested inside the ITO Metro station. As per police reports, the drunk man first passed lewd comments at her and then touched her inappropriately.
