Men assault woman selling flowers over refusal to sell drugs
New Delhi: A woman selling flowers was assaulted with sticks and iron rods by a group of men in south Delhi’s Hauz Khas after she allegedly refused to sell marijuana, with her family claiming that they had been repeatedly threatened and attacked by members of a drug mafia, police said on Thursday.
A purported video of the incident, which reportedly occurred on October 8, has surfaced on social media, showing the woman sitting by the roadside when two men approach her. After a brief exchange, one of them allegedly begins beating her with a stick.
When bystanders intervene to help, another man joins in to attack them as well. The woman’s family has alleged that a man identified as Soni, described as a member of the drug mafia, has been pressuring them to sell marijuana.
They claim that the assault occurred after they refused to comply and that this was the third such attack against them. Aman, a family member, told PTI that the incident took place around 3 am while his sister-in-law Radha was making garlands alone, as he was asleep.
