‘UPDATE #Lucknow Case: Restless, I called up Krishna Nagar PS. Been informed that driver & other man were booked under 151. #Priyadarshini was also booked under 107/14. She was let go from PS while men were let go after appearing in front of Magistrate. As expected, this woman made allegations of molestation and misbehaviour by the driver but police now has all evidences to discredit her claims. I am told the driver & other man have filed a complaint against her which may convert into FIR. #ArrestLucknowGirl
Been informed that @adgzonelucknow will release a media byte on the case. When I asked SHO why @lucknowtraffic officer didn’t stop woman from slapping, this is what he said – “Purush officer the na. Vo agar beech mein aate to unpar bhi aarop lag sakta hai,’ said a freelance journalist Deepika Bhardwaj after talking with the police officials.
