Month on, Connaught Place molester roams free

Almost a month after a 32-year-old professor was molested in Connaught Place, the heart of the national Capital, the Delhi Police have failed to get any major breakthrough, though a sketch of the accused has also been made with the help of the victim. The police, however, maintain that a dedicated team is working on the case.

The woman was molested on the terrace of her office building on November 30. A man groped her, unzipped his pants, and masturbated in front of her while she was taking a break from work. The accused also snatched her phone before fleeing from the location. DNA was the first to report the incident.

Four days after the incident, the police got a sketch of the accused made, which was then circulated. The accused, however, still remains at large and has not been identified till now.

Investigating officers said the accused was not known to the victim. He was wearing spectacles at the time of the incident. The police officers scanned the CCTV footage from the entire area. A list of people, including courier staff, regular visitors, food delivery men, cleaning staff, and other people who would often visit the building has also been made. So far, nearly 100 people have been verified through the sketch.

"We have made a list of people who come to the building. It is a time taking procedure but our teams are working on it. We have put up the sketch at several places and are hopeful of nabbing the accused soon," said BK Singh, DCP, New Delhi.
