This is not an isolated case. In a similar incident reported earlier from east Delhi’s Krishna Nagar, a woman was assaulted and robbed by four motorcycle-borne men in broad daylight.
CCTV footage of that incident also went viral, showing the accused attacking the victim, snatching her gold bangle, and even brandishing a firearm to intimidate bystanders.
The victim, identified as Kanika Mehta, had just dropped her daughter at a school bus stop when she was surrounded by the accused riding two motorcycles. When she resisted their demand to hand over her gold bangle, one of the attackers allegedly hit her with a blunt object while another threatened her with a gun. She sustained minor injuries during the scuffle.
Police officials said a case has been registered in the Krishna Nagar incident and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the accused. The repeated nature of such crimes, especially targeting women during routine activities like school drop-offs, has intensified concerns about public safety in Delhi.
As the Rohini video continues to circulate widely, citizens and experts alike are calling for stricter policing and swift action against the perpetrators to restore a sense of security in the city.
