Police say teams are verifying sequence of events
Ten days later, police registered a case of rash driving against unknown persons. The woman lost balance and fell, skidding for around 100-150 metres, causing injuries all over her body, according to her complaint. After a PCR call, police contacted the woman on September 12 and she narrated the incident over the phone, but she alleged there was no action thereafter. On September 15, her friends submitted a complaint through a lawyer at Hauz Khas police station as she was in Kanpur. Deputy commissioner of police (south) Anant Mittal said a case was registered under Section 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Police said the suspects then pushed her with their bike and fled. Mittal said police reached the spot after receiving a PCR call around 1am, but the woman had already been taken to Max Hospital, Saket, from where she was discharged at her request. Police subsequently contacted her, but she said she was proceeding to another hospital, Mittal said, adding that teams were trying to verify the circumstances and establish the sequence of events.
