UT Police have failed to trace the Santro car (HRG-1491)
that was used by three drunken youth in an attempt
to molest and kidnap an NRI woman on Thursday evening.
The incident occurred on the approach road to Kaimbwala
village, behind Rock Garden. The woman was rescued
by two passersby.
This information was given to the UT Police and the
car number was also flashed to the Police Control
Room. Despite all this, the car not only crossed the
city’s territory, but the UT Police have also
failed to trace its owner till date.
Talking to Newsline, Station House Officer, Police
Station-3, Inspector Pannu said, “We have sent
a policeman to Gurgaon for verification of the ownership
of the vehicle so that we get some clue about the
persons who were present in the car when the incident
took place. However, because of the weekend holidays,
we are facing difficulties in tracing the car’s
registered owner.”
Ironically, the UT Police have not even taken the
statement of the victim on the basis of which some
sketches could be prepared.
However, when asked, Inspector Pannu said, “The
woman is presently at a hill station and we will take
her help when she comes back and get the sketches
made so that we could identify the accused.”
The car’s registration number (HRG-1491) seems
to be an old registration number. “There are
three possibilities - either the number was fake or
the old number was retained by the owner of the car.
Whatever it is, we would try and unearth it soon,”
said a senior police official.
