Three Nigerian nationals were beaten up by people on Sunday evening after they allegedly misbehaved with a woman commuter on the Delhi Metro.
The incident was reported at 6.15 pm. The woman was travelling on the Yellow Line between Jahangirpuri and HUDA City Centre Metro stations. According to an official of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the woman raised alarm.
“Other passengers then beat up the three Nigerian nationals. When the train reached the next stop at Rajiv Chowk, the three were forced out of the coach and the station master was informed about the incident. The Nigerians were taken to a Delhi Police booth at the Rajiv Chowk Metro station,” the DMRC official said.
DCP (Railways) Sanjay Bhatia said, “We received a call about a scuffle inside the Metro. Three Nigerian nationals were detained in the process. Even though some eyewitnesses said the fight started after one of them allegedly molested a woman, no one has come forward to support the claim till now. We are going through the CCTV footage to ascertain the exact cause that led to the scuffle. Further action will be taken accordingly. We are recording statements of the three Nigerian nationals.”
