MP R Sudha suffers injuries, chain stanched in New Delhi’s diplomatic enclave | Latest News India

Sudha said she suffered injuries on her neck, and her trousers were also torn. “I somehow managed not to fall, and both of us cried for help,” she added. Sudha said the incident traumatised her.

She questioned how safe women are in the capital. Sudha asked if they cannot walk safely in a high-priority zone in the national capital, where else can they feel safe and do their routine without fearing for their limbs, lives, and valuables?. “In a high-security zone like Chanakyapuri, which is full of embassies and protected institutions, [it] is highly shocking to say the least,” she said in her police complaint.

The Opposition Congress lawmaker said around 6.15 am-6.20 am, the man wearing a full helmet and covering his face on a scooty approached them from the opposite direction, snatched her gold chain and fled. Sudha, who represents Tamil Nadu’s Mayiladuthurai in Lok Sabha, said the incident happened near the Polish Embassy’s Gate-3 and Gate-4. She added that the man came slowly in the opposite direction, and she did not suspect he could be a chain-snatcher.

She said she complained to a mobile Delhi Police patrol. “We were advised to give a complaint in writing and approach the jurisdictional police station.” Sudha said she is in Delhi to attend the parliament’s monsoon session and is staying at the Tamil Nadu Bhawan because her official accommodation is not ready.

A police officer said that they have received the complaint. “We are registering the FIR [First Information Report]…Teams are working to nab the suspect,” the officer said.
