NEW DELHI: The latest target of the infamous thak thak gang is Vidushi Kapoor, deputy labour commissioner at Jammu and Kashmir House.
The senior government officer was driving with her 13-year-old son when two men in a scooter attacked her and fled with her bag on Thursday morning in south Delhi’s Khanpur. As Kapoor tried to save her bag, she was dragged for almost 100 metres by the two men, causing her grievous injuries. The police are yet to make any arrest in the case.
According to the police, the incident took place around 11.30am when 47-year-old Kapoor left her house in her car and was driving towards Faridabad to drop her son for his sports match. She told cops that as soon as she reached the T-point near Khanpur, two men on a scooter signalled her. She said that one of the men alerted her that fuel is dripping from her car.
Speaking to TOI, she said, “Since the area was crowded, I did not stop there and instead crossed the red light then stopped. My sling purse was hanging on me and I opened the bonnet to check. I saw that there was no leakage and even called my husband to inform him.Meanwhile, the two men on the scooter came and snatched by bag. I held onto it and the two started pressing the accelerator and I was dragged 100 metres or so.”
Her bag contained around Rs 2,000 cash, her ATM cards and her official ID card. As per the victim, the rider was wearing a helmet, while she said she can recognise the pillion rider who seemed to be a juvenile and had blonde hair.
DCP (south) Benita Mary Jaiker said a case of robbery was registered soon as the complaint was received from the officer.
