A 31-year-old woman who on Thursday allegedly attempted suicide at on Delhi’s Inderlok Metro Station is said to be mentally unstable. Police said that she was forced to take the extreme step as her landlord had sexually assaulted her.
According to Monika Bharadwaj, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), West district, the woman along with her two children, was approaching the railway track when her son wriggled out of her grip and informed an on-duty Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel.
“The woman said she was forced to take the extreme step as her landlord had sexually assaulted her. The woman has been admitted to the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IBHAS). The doctors stated she needs medical help as she is not mentally stable,” said the DCP.
“The woman had lodged a complaint at the Moti Nagar police station about the alleged sexual assault. She probably wanted to end her life and that of her two children— a 10-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter,” said the DCP.
A CISF team rushed and intercepted the woman. It brought her to the station control room. The woman was handed over to the Delhi Metro Rail Police Unit of Delhi Police for further probe.
