Protest after woman's audacious abduction

Herald Globe (IANS) Friday 10th February, 2012

More than 100 people blocked streets and raised slogans Friday after a 25-year-old woman was kidnapped from a crowded area here, witnesses said.

Kiran Negi was seized by the abductors and dragged into their car from near a Hanuman temple in west Delhi's Chhawla area Thursday evening. She was returning home from work.

Her father, Harpal Singh Negi, was alerted by a witness.

The distraught father approached the police station in the area Thursday night but officials there only registered a complaint and brusquely asked him to go back home, said a resident.

Furious, more than 100 people poured into a key road Friday and staged a noisy protest against the police attitude.

Senior officials who intervened then registered a case of kidnapping.
