She was posted at the Delhi University to protect girl students from eve-teasers. But on Wednesday, the plainclothes Delhi Police Constable not only found herself molested, but bundled up into a car and on the verge of being abducted.

The woman constable was patrolling the lane between Stephen’s College and Hindu College.

As per norm, she was in plainclothes to identify and catch assailants. But three youths, who drove up in a Santro, mistook her for a student and began passing lewd comments at her.

When she objected, they physically molested her.

When she objected even more, they dragged her into the vehicle and began driving off, with her screaming for help.

“A male constable, Sanjay, posted in Maurice Nagar, patrols the area along with her. He heard her screams and came to her aid,” said a senior police officer. But he got roundly beaten. “The assailants punched and kicked him,” the officer said.

Finally, to her abductors’ consternation, the woman announced that she was a cop. They stopped the car and two of them ran for their lives.

By then, a PCR van had reached the spot — Constable Sanjay had called for help.

“The police party intercepted the car. Two of the youths

managed to flee, but the third was arrested,” said Sagar Preet Hooda, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North).

He turned out to be one Anil Kumar, a Post Graduate in

Arts from the Delhi University who has also done his BEd and is preparing to sit for competitive exams.
