New Delhi, Jun 3 (IANS): Two drivers of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit were arrested for allegedly misbehaving with a 22-year-old woman, police said Thursday.
Jagdish Kumar and Rajesh Kumar, both around 35, were arrested late Wednesday but released on bail Thursday.
According to the woman's brother Mohit, the incident occurred around 10.15 p.m. Wednesday when the woman was standing outside her home in central Delhi to find an auto for her friend.
A car came from the opposite side and started blinking the headlights on her face. The drivers then stopped the car in front of her and offered her a can of beer.
The woman began shouting at them at which the drivers came out and started harassing her, Mohit said. He then reached the spot after his sister called him, and caught hold of the drivers before calling police.
A first information report (FIR) under section 509 of the Criminal Procedure Code (outraging modesty of a woman) was registered against the duo, a senior police officer said.
Asked for her response, Dikshit said: "The general administration department (GAD) has taken action against them and they have been removed. It would be better to contact the GAD officials... they would be the best persons to answer."
