A mother-daughter duo was allegedly abused, and their car was smashed by a suspect after he rammed their vehicle with his Mahindra Scorpio on Golf Course Road on August 27, police said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on the same stretch where Delhi biker Shivani “Sia” Chauhan was rammed by a suspect with his car on September 13 after she refused to stop despite being asked multiple times.
Police had also invoked an attempt-to-murder charge against the car driver. She already had dashcam footage of the incident as evidence. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the footage. The woman alleged that she approached police immediately after the incident, but no action was taken. “I was given the excuse that it is difficult to trace out the car with the temporary registration number. The woman alleged that the Scorpio driver hurled abuses at her and her daughter.
In the Chauhan case, Sector 56 police registered a case on its own after a video of the incident was circulated. In the August 27 incident, the 45-year-old woman, a resident of Sector-55 along Golf Course Road, said the incident took place at 10.09pm. She told HT that an FIR against an unidentified suspect was registered at the Sector-56 police station only on Tuesday, after several visits and repeated requests. The FIR in the August 27 case was registered against the Scorpio driver under sections 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), 281 (rash driving) and 324(4) (mischief causing damage to the amount of twenty thousand rupees and more but less than one lakh rupees) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Sector-56 police station on Tuesday. Despite multiple attempts by HT, inspector Manoj Kumar, station house officer of Sector-56 police station, did not respond to queries regarding the case.
“I am terrified to disclose anything at present; the cops may refuse to help me afterwards when needed at I live here or may mess up by case,” she said while recounting the incident involving the biker woman, whose accident video went viral after she uploaded it on social media.
