Woman molested Cab driver,Police forced her to file robbery case

New Delhi, Dec 10: A woman has alleged that she was molested and thrown out of a moving cab by three men on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway here, but the police "forced" her to file a case of robbery.

Gurugram police chief PRO Manish Sehgal said the woman had filed only a complaint related to the robbery. There was no mention of a rape attempt and molestation. An SHO and a woman counselor had approached the complainant again to find out the details of the incident, the PRO said.

The woman, 30, a native of Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, said the incident took place on Thursday around 8 p.m. after she left her office and took a private cab from the busy Shankar Chowk to Hero Honda Chowk.

"I didn't suspect the intention of two persons already sitting in it as they looked like passengers,” she said.

"Near Jharsa Chowk, the three men, including the driver, started molesting me. When I resisted their attempts and tried to raise an alarm, they tied my hands and legs and choked me," the woman said, adding that they had also attempted to rape her.

"In the meantime, two bike-borne police personnel appeared near the spot. The trio panicked and sped towards Rajiv Chowk. They then snatched my phone and wallet and threw me out of the moving cab near Rajiv Chowk," the victim said.

"Initially, the police officers did not file an FIR of molestation and tried to hush up the matter saying they would visit the spot," the victim said.
