What Happened
Delhi police have placed three men in custody following an alleged assault on a woman from Nagaland and the subsequent injury of her friends. The confrontation took place at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, inside the parking area of a five‑star hotel situated in the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri.
The victim arrived at the hotel accompanied by a doctor colleague from RML Hospital and two other acquaintances. After using the restroom, the group was approached near the car park by three men driving a white Mercedes.
Companions Intervene
According to the police report, the three men attempted to pull the woman toward their vehicle. When her friends stepped forward to stop them, a physical altercation broke out. The intervening companions—identified as Ayush, Udbhav and Samarth—sustained injuries; Ayush suffered a dental injury while Udbhav and Samarth were reportedly beaten.
The woman was swiftly taken to RML Hospital for a medical examination. She managed to note the registration number of the white Mercedes, a detail that later proved pivotal for investigators.
Identified Accused
Authorities have named the alleged perpetrators as Divyanshu, Gaurav and Mohit. A formal FIR was lodged at the Chanakyapuri police station based on the victim’s statement and the accompanying medical report.
Current Investigation
Detectives are reviewing statements from all involved parties and reconstructing the timeline of events in the hotel’s parking zone. The three suspects remain in police custody as the inquiry continues.
"The case is under active investigation, and we will release further details as the probe progresses," a police spokesperson said.
