In the video, the men are seen smearing colour on a Japanese woman and groping her. One of them even smashes an egg on her head. Before she manages to step away, the woman slaps one of the men who tried to grab her.
DCP (Central) Sanjay Kumar Sain said the video is being analysed to ascertain the details. “On the basis of landmarks seen in the video, the incident seems to have taken place in Paharganj. However, it is being verified whether any such incident took place in that area,” the DCP said.
The Embassy of Japan was also contacted in this regard. It has responded by saying that it does not have any information regarding the incident so far, the DCP added.
Prior to that, Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairman Swati Maliwal announced she was giving Delhi Police a notice to review the footage and apprehend the offenders.
