Russian women eve-teased in Ghaziabad

The driver of two Russian women, who were allegedly eve-teased by three men at a road side eatery in Garhmukteshwar, 70 km from Ghaziabad, was stabbed by the assailants when he objected, police said on Sunday.

According to SP (rural) A K Mishra, two women from Russia were travelling to Nainital in a cab late on Friday night when they decided to have a meal at a roadside eatery in Garhmukteshwar.

"Three men, who were in a car, teased the women and when their driver Rahul protested, he was stabbed by one of the three men. The assailants then escaped," he said.

Rahul was taken to a local hospital and was shifted to AIIMS in Delhi on Saturday in a critical condition, the SP said, adding that the two women were escorted to the national capital by the police.

However, no information has been received on the three assailants as the registration number of their car was found to be forged, he said.

A criminal case has been registered against the unidentified persons for eve-teasing and stabbing. A hunt is on to nab them, Mishra said.
