Delhi Police Arrest Six Over Assault on Flower Seller Refusing to Sell Drugs
A 37-year-old woman selling flowers in south Delhi's Hauz Khas was assaulted with sticks and iron rods by a group of men, including relatives, after she allegedly refused to sell drugs on their behalf. The attack, captured on CCTV and shared on social media, also involved her brother-in-law and a minor. Police initially had no complaint but took cognisance after the video surfaced, later arresting six suspects, including four juveniles. The family alleges repeated threats and assaults linked to a local drug mafia, while police continue investigating.
