Ayouth allegedly attempted to strangulate a 25-year-old ex-girlfriend in East Delhi’s Vivek Vihar area on Tuesday evening. The incident happened barely 150 metres away from the Vivek Vihar police station.
A senior police officer said that the 25-year-old girl was returning home from a nearby dispensary in Yojna Vihar area of Vivek Vihar.
As per the written complaint of the girl, she lives with her family in the Yojana Vihar area. Three years ago, she met one Vikas Tyagi.
However, a year ago, they ended their relationship. “While the girl moved on, the youth kept harassing her and even threatened her of dire consequences if she did not resume the relationship. On Tuesday evening, while the girl was returning home, Vikas allegedly abducted her in his car and a heated argument ensued between them. The youth then strangulated the girl with a rope. Assuming the girl to be dead, he threw her out of the car.
When the girl came round she raised an alarm. On hearing her shouts for help, locals gathered and took her to the Vivek Vihar police station. Based on the girl’s complaint, police have registered a case and are trying to nab the youth.
