Four days after a 32-year-old professor was molested in Connaught Place, a team of police officers, including the Deputy Commissioner of Police, New Delhi, reached the crime scene on Sunday morning to investigate the matter.

The complainant was also taken along so that the sequence of events could be recreated. Meanwhile, the accused is yet to be identified.

DNA had first reported about the incident on Saturday, after which the police swung into action and began their investigation. A sketch of the accused has been created and a manhunt has been launched to nab him.

After the horrendous incident, the accused, probably in his mid 20s, escaped by hopping from the terrace of one building to another. The terraces of the entire H block in CP, where the incident took place, are connected to each other, making it easy for anyone to escape.

In her statement, the complainant had said that she had seen the footage from one of the cameras installed in the building, and it showed the accused following her. The police then scanned the locations and identified the probable escape route that the accused might have taken.

Apart from the people who work in the building, the Delhi Police have prepared a list of employees who visit the area, including courier and delivery men. Senior officers said that since the accused was unknown to the victim, it was difficult to identify him. 

"We are thoroughly investigating the case," a senior police officer said.

Meanwhile, the complainant's friends, who did not wish to be named, said: "The police should have collected forensic evidence on the first day itself, so that the accused could be identified. Even the sketch was made on Sunday, four days after the incident."
