In an eve-teasing related incident a day before the Holi on Thursday evening, a college-going girl sustained serious leg injuries while fleeing from the clutches of miscreants. The incident exposed how ‘efficient’ police were in stopping such incidents despite the senior cops having issued high alert in anticipation of such unsavoury incidents before, during and after the Holi revelry.   

The incident exposed the police’s claim that they are providing foolproof security to the women and girls. Moreover, Dehradun police are still clueless about the identities of three miscreants (private college students) who had allegedly eve-teased the girl who was from another private institute located at Selaqui. While she was fleeing the chasing marauders, her scooty the two-wheeler stumbled over pebbles on the road and fell, and a car ran over her legs.

The incident occurred at Ballupur Chowk under Premnagar police station area on Thursday evening. Police are also clueless on how the car  driver who escaped from the scene after the incident. However, a case under Sections 307 and 354 of IPC was registered against three unidentified persons in the Premnagar Police Station.

She was admitted to local hospital where she underwent  surgeries. Premnagar police station in-charge Ravi Saini said a case was registered against three persons and teams have been formed to nab the accused. He said almost all the information related to miscreants has been collected by the teams and police would soon arrest them.
