The incident happened around 9am on Monday when the woman, on a visit to Delhi, had gone with her friends to the outlet near the Karol Bagh Metro station, PTI reported.

However, no arrests have been made in the case as yet.

The weapon the woman pulled out from her bag at the store is yet to to be identified. Police have asked the model to join the probe, and her response is awaited.
