Women employees of a pub here beat up an alleged molester with slippers in full public view, a video of which has gone viral on social media.
The incident occurred on MG Road on Saturday night. A man in an inebriated condition approached a woman employee of a pub and grabbed her from behind.
Soon after, some of her colleagues rushed to her rescue and started thrashing him with slippers.
The video of the incident rocketed around the Internet.
Eyewitnesses alleged there was no policeman around when the incident took place.
"We have deployed male and female constables in civil dress to take action against miscreants. We have issued strict directions to police personnel to file an FIR forthwith if the victim approaches police," Manish Sehgal, ACP and PRO of the Gurgaon Police told.
However, days after the incident, authenticity of the video is being questioned. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Vikas Kaushik, Station House Officer (SHO) of Sector 29 police station, said the police did not receive any complaint regarding the matter nor was a PCR call made on Saturday night.
“I was patrolling on MG Road with my team till about 2 am on Saturday night. I was present outside Sahara Mall but no such case came to light,” Kaushik said. He also said that on being informed about the video, the police went to the area and questioned the guards. “But nobody saw anything. We are trying to identify eyewitnesses as well, but haven’t found anyone,” he said.
