Foreigner robbed, left with torn clothes on Chhatarpur road

Two men walking a dog allegedly overpowered a 27-year-old Ugandan woman, assaulted her, tore her clothes, hit her head with a stone, robbed her and left her bleeding for over an hour on a road near Chhatarpur flower market in south Delhi on Thursday night, police officers aware of the matter said on Friday.

The two suspects, who fled the crime scene after looting her purse containing ₹800 and a silver ring, and also stripping her, were arrested on Friday at Satbari village near Chhatarpur, they added.

The woman, who lives in a rented house in Chhatarpur, was helped by two bike-borne men, who spotted her and alerted the police, investigators said.

The place where the woman was found was secluded and semi-lit, one of the two men, Sahil Khan, 25, told HT.

“Around 11.30pm, my uncle, Danish Khan, and I were heading towards Satbari village on my bike to attend a wedding. As we crossed the flower market on 100 Feet Road, the woman signalled us to help her. We could not understand her language. Meanwhile, a truck also stopped and we took a cloth from the driver and helped her cover herself. We left after a police team arrived,” said Sahil.

Deputy commissioner of police (south) Ankit Chauhan said, “The woman said that around 10.45pm, she was walking on the footpath towards her residence from the flower market. The two men were walking behind her with a dog, and they attacked her,” said the DCP.

“The suspects, identified as Manoj Kinnu, 24, and Rinku Kashyap, 26, were arrested in Satbari village. Both are drug addicts,” added Chauhan.
