A 25-year-old journalist and another woman were molested by a man at a Metro station in New Delhi on Monday evening, following which the accused was arrested on Thursday, police said.
The incident occurred at ITO Metro Station premises in central Delhi on Monday when the accused, identified as Akhilesh Kumar, in an inebriated state, allegedly molested the two women and passed lewd comments, police said.
In a CCTV footage at the time of the incident, the woman can be seen bravely fighting off the predator, who then cowardly flees the spot.
“By the time the victims informed the police, Akhilesh Kumar had fled. During the investigation, five teams of police interrogated over 5,000 persons on Tuesday and Wednesday and finally traced Kumar,” news agency IANS quoted Deputy Commissioner of Police Pankaj Singh.
However, according to reports, the journalist had to go through further trauma following the incident after the CISF personnel present at the Metro station made her wait for more than an hour at the Control Room before filing the complaint.
