New Delhi, 06 Dec 2014: A 19-year-old girl from Manipur narrowly escaped a potential sexual assault last week by jumping from a moving auto rickshaw in South Delhi.
The incident occurred on November 28th around 10:15 PM, after the victim, who was returning from her office, hired an auto from Hauz Khas metro station to Munirka. Initially agreeing on a fare of Rs 40, the driver soon raised the fare to Rs 60. When questioned, the driver reportedly hurled sexually abusive remarks and refused to stop the vehicle.
“I asked him to stop, but he didn't. As the auto slowed down, I tried to get out, but he suddenly sped up, driving towards a deserted road. Fearing his intentions, I jumped from the moving vehicle,” the victim recounted to our reporter. She sustained injuries to her knees, face, and chin, requiring stitches.
Two passersby helped her reach Munirka, where she contacted friends and received first aid at a private hospital. The victim could not recall the driver's identity and did not immediately file a police report or lodge an FIR.
