2 years on, police fail to crack Chandigarh journalist molestation case

Chandigarh, December 10

Even two years after a woman journalist was molested during a morning walk at Panjab University’s Botanical Garden, the UT police have failed to crack the case.

On December 9, 2019, the complainant, a resident of the PU campus, had gone for a walk at the Botanical Garden when an unknown person came from the rear side and molested her. She fought back and gave a tough fight to the middle-aged perpetrator, who later fled from the spot. The police were informed following which a case was registered at the Sector 11 police station.

During the investigation, a sketch of the suspect was made to trace the molester and the police visited areas near the PU campus. Class VI employees at the PU, mess and canteen workers and security guards were also verified by the police. However, all efforts turned futile.

Dump of mobile towers was also scrutinised by the police but the investigators did not find any lead.—TNS
