Bikers in the outer district of the Capital, especially the Mangolpuri area, have been attacking women with blades. The police had arrested two persons identified as Vishal (22) and Rohit (26) in December last year. During interrogation, the duo confessed that they wanted to teach women a lesson for spurning Vishal's advances.
"Vishal had earlier been rejected by a girl who spurned his advances. Vishal with the help of his friend Rohit started attacking women in the area due to frustration," a senior police official said.
A 28-year-old woman working at the Jaipur Golden Hospital was attacked on Saturday night by her husband in Mangolpuri. Her husband was allegedly upset that she had refused to live with him.
