On way to office, woman boxer assaulted in city
Kolkata, Jun 28 (PTI) An international woman boxer was
allegedly verbally abused and physically assaulted on Friday
by a man when she was going to office in a two-wheeler, police
said.
In a Facebook post later, Suman Kumari claimed that
the incident happened at Mominpur area of south Kolkata around
11 am and when he sought help from a policeman standing
nearby, he advised her to lodge a complaint to a police
station.
The post was tagged to the Kolkata Police which later
said three persons were arrested in connection with the
incident.
Kumari's assault came within a week after former Miss
India Universe Usoshi Sengupta was chased and harassed by
miscreants when she and her friend were returning home in an
app-cab at night.
Kumari, who recently won the Taiwan Professionals
Boxing Championship, said she was first verbally and then
physically abused by an unknown man near her residence at
Mominpore when she was driving her two-wheeler to office.
"The incident happened at around 11 am when I was
going to office on my scooty and a man came in front of it
suddenly in order to board a bus. I managed to apply breaks
but the man threw abuses at me and got into the bus," she
said.
Kumari is a temporary employee with the state
agricultural department.
"I chased the bus and in the next stop asked the man
why he abused me. He came down and started abusing me again
and suddenly held my throat. I tried to draw attention of
a policeman standing nearby but he did not come forward," the
pugilist said.
"Still I have enough faith on Kolkata Police. So I
request KP to look into the matter and restore Law and Order
as much as possible. Then only my beloved city will be more
safe for the women," she wrote on her Facebook wall.
The city police, in its Facebook page, said it
registered a case basing on her post and, after watching CCTV
footages of the area, arrested three persons - Rahul Sharma,
Sheikh Firoz and Wasim Khan.
"We have identified and arrested the culprits within
an hour Madam; and shall ensure that they are punished.
Regards," the police said to the boxer in the page. PTI SCH
