NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police is looking for three associates of a 22-year-old man who was arrested in connection with alleged molestation and attempted kidnap of two female students inside the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus, an officer said Thursday.
The JNU Students’ Union on Wednesday alleged that some inebriated men in a car had come to the campus Tuesday night and attempted to kidnap two students. They also got into a fight on campus, it said.
Two cases were registered in the matter after students approached the police, one for physical assault and another for molestation-kidnapping bid, the student group said. The youth has been identified as Abhishek, a resident of Gurgaon, police said.
Abhishek used to live in Munirka village and had shifted to Gurgaon around four to five months ago. He has completed his graduation and is currently preparing for the MBA, sources said. Abhishek was driving the car when the alleged incidents took place, they added.
