A senior police official said seven people have been arrested and two others were being interrogated regarding the incident. Efforts went on to identify the other people surrounding the woman, when she was beaten up and paraded on the streets.

The Delhi Commission for Women has issued a notice to Delhi Police, seeking action against those involved in the alleged abduction, sexual assault and disgracing of the woman in Vivek Vihar.

DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal said a video of the incident was received by the Commission, which showed the sad plight of the victim.

The Commission asked Delhi Police to submit a detailed Action Taken Report within 72 hours.

Delhiites will not tolerate such heinous crime and criminals at any cost," he added. (UNI)
