The bureaucrat, in his mid-fifties, was physically and verbally abused, and his wife and daughter molested, allegedly by a man over a minor collision between their cars at Rao Tula Ram road towards Moti Bagh flyover in south Delhi. The man allegedly misbehaved with the bureaucrat’s wife and daughter, grabbed their hair and pulled them out of their car.

The crime occurred on a busy south Delhi stretch but nobody came forward to help the family and stop the man from sexually harassing the women. .After attacking the family, he fled the crime scene, said a police officer.

The family members called the police control room and informed the police about the incident.

The only help one of the onlookers did to the police was that he provided them the registration number of the attackers’ car. The passerby had clicked a photo of the car’s registration number on his mobile phone. Police said the car bore the registration number of Punjab and it was a private vehicle. Around 11.30 PM, the family reached the Moti Bagh flyover when suddenly an Alto car grazed past their four-wheeler while overtaking.

The man abruptly stopped his car in front of the family’s car, blocking their way and forcing them to stop their vehicle.
