A 23-year-old woman got four stitches on her head, after she was allegedly hit on head with a beer bottle, following a heated argument between two groups outside her residence in southeast Delhi's Greater Kailash area, police said.
 
The victim, a mass communication student, alleged that, the police convinced her not to register a case, which was denied by the police, adding that, a case of criminal assault and outraging modesty of a woman has been registered in connection with the incident but no person has been arrested yet.

Speaking on the issue, Joint Commissioner of Police (Southeast) RP Upadhyay said, “The complainant's friend had given a written statement on Monday saying that they did not want to get a case registered. However, when the victim approached police on Tuesday again, the case was registered immediately on the basis of her complaint.”

The woman, in her complaint, said that, the incident took place on the early hours on Monday. According to her complaint, she and two other friends-one male and other female, had just returned from a party and went back to the parking area to fetch a mobile phone from their car.

"That is when they came across the other group - comprising three males and two females -- who had also parked their car nearby. One of them allegedly passed an objectionable remark on the complainant, following which a fight broke out between two groups," the complaint states.

It was then, one man from the other group attacked the woman with a beer bottle, who then started to bleed. She along with her friend later approached police, from where, they were sent to AIIMS for medical treatment, police said.

The accused had also returned from a pub in Greater Kailash area and have claimed that, they were not consuming alcohol on the road, police added.

"The accused persons have been identified. Further action will be taken as per law," Mr Upadhyay said.

One woman and a male from the accused group also approached police on Tuesday evening and they claimed that the fight started only after the complainant's male friend passed an objectionable remark on her, police said.

The case is being probed from all angles, Mr Upadhyay added.
