2 arrested in Tao molestation case




Chandigarh, July 24
A week after registering the case, the UT police has arrested two youths for molesting a 25-year old IT professional outside Tao discotheque in Sector 26 on July 15.

The police arrested Gagandeep Singh, a resident of Fatehgarh Sahib, and Gurpreet Singh, a resident of Faridkot. Both accused were identified by the victim in the police station today.
Three other accused in the case are still at large and raids are being conducted to nab them. The accused are employed with a private company and were bailed out.
The girl was chased, abused and molested in Sector 26 in full public view, as she came out of the discotheque.
The UT police had failed to register any case at that time and it was only after the incident was highlighted in these columns that a case was registered. The police seized Ford Fiesta car of the accused. The car was registered on the name of Balwinder Kaur.
Last week, the victim had met UT SSP Naunihal Singh requesting for speedy justice. The SSP reportedly pulled Inspector Anokh Singh, SHO, Sector 26 police station, for his failure to make arrests.
