Woman, mother assaulted by 'women bouncers' in Delhi

A 27-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by "over 20 women bouncers" and her mother in-law in the national capital, police said on Friday.

An FIR has been registered on the basis of victim's complaint.

The police said the victim, Garima Chaudhary, was assaulted on Monday noon when she came back from her parents' house in Haryana's Rohtak.

"When she, along with her mother, tried to enter her husband's house at Saket, a group of over 30 goons including 20 women bouncers, prevented her and her mother and dragged them out.

"When Garima resisted their attempts, the women bouncers and her mother-in-law identified as Sunita Chaudhary assaulted her. They even punched her mother. The victim also stated that she has a life threat from her mother-in-law," the FIR mentioned.

Garima alleged that her husband, Tejveer, was also involved in the incident and "he escaped from the backdoor on the day of crime".

"I don't know why my mother-in-law doesn't want to keep me in my husband's house. She also made my husband go underground. He is not answering my calls," she added.

The victim married Tajveer in November 2017.

"We have registered a case and booked accused persons for making sexually-coloured remarks, stalking and other relevant sections. A hunt is on to nab the accused persons," a senior police officer said.
