Landlord and Son ASSAULT three from Manipur in Delhi

NEW DELHI, JUNE 3, 2014 — Two men and a woman from Manipur were reportedly assaulted by their landlord and his son on Monday night in Chirag Delhi. The incident took place around 9 PM.

The victim, a young woman (name withheld), had been living in Chirag Delhi for the past eight months while running a grocery shop. She alleged that her landlord, Rajesh Pandit (alias Raju), had been harassing her for the past two to three months.

"My landlord asked me to vacate my shop, but when I tried to do so, he stopped me again. He also threatened my sister, warning me to remove her from the shop. His son, Himanshu Pandit (alias Hemu), also intimidated me," she said.

On Monday night, around 9 PM, two men, Mr. Lansingh and Mr. Somaya, visited her grocery shop to buy vegetables when, without provocation, the landlord and his son brutally assaulted them. Both men sustained injuries.

"My landlord grabbed my hand and forcibly pulled me out of my shop. He threatened to rape us if we reported the incident to the police. He even threatened to harm my sister, my mother, and me. After the attack, he locked my shop by force," the victim recounted.

A case has been registered at Malviya Nagar Police Station under FIR No. 618/14, dated 02-06-2014, under Sections 323, 341, 354, 452, 508, and 34 of the IPC, along with provisions of the SC/ST Act. The accused, Rajesh Pandit and Himanshu Pandit, have been arrested.
