Clash over eve-teasing, 5 injured
A young female student allegedly became a victim of eve-teasing in Nehru Nagar area of Lajpat Nagar in southeast Delhi following which violent clashes erupted in the area on Monday evening in which at least five persons were injured.
The police officials said the victim, a resident of Nehru Nagar colony, was returning home from her tuition when five unidentified youth, who are believed to be residents of a nearby slum cluster, started passing lewd comments on her. The victim resisted their attempts and rushed to her home where she narrated the incident to her family members. The matter was brought to the notice of neighbours, who decided to teach the accused a lesson.
