NEW DELHI: The woman, who sustained injuries in an alleged pub brawl, following which DCP (Dwarka) Shankar Ghaudhary was removed from his post, said she was hurt when “a man passed the glass to another”.
The woman, in her video statement, said she had gone to Friday night’s party, a family get-together, with her husband.
Police initiated an inquiry after the PCR call named the DCP, saying he had assaulted a woman with a glass and a ‘general diary’ entry was made at the GK police station. Chaudhary’s location was confirmed at the Uncultured pub in GK-1 at the time of incident.
“During the function, a glass fell upon the lady and she was injured. The husband of the lady got infuriated upon this as one person in the party was playing with the glass at that time. Due to a miscommunication, the name of the DCP cropped up in the ensuing commotion,” the Delhi Police spokesperson added.
She added, “In the complaint, it was written that person was known to Shankar but there was a miscommunication, sorry for the inconvenience... the incident took place around 12.20am but the complaint was filed later after husband got angry. It was our family matter and has been resolved.”
