Delhi Businessman Assaulted After Intervening in Harassment Incident: Four Suspects Identified in Mehrauli Case

A businessman was assaulted in Delhi's Mehrauli area after attempting to stop the harassment of three women, according to police reports. The victim, identified as Mukesh Kumar, intervened in the incident, leading to an altercation with four suspects. Authorities have named the alleged perpetrators as Vishal Rawat (26), Jatin (20), Sonu (25), and Vivek (20), all residents of Sangam Vihar. This case highlights ongoing concerns about public safety and gender-based violence in urban centers, despite increased legal protections. The assault raises questions about bystander intervention risks and the effectiveness of law enforcement in preventing such incidents. Analysis suggests that while civic courage is commendable, systemic improvements in policing and community awareness are necessary to ensure public spaces remain secure for all citizens. The identification of suspects indicates investigative progress, but broader patterns of harassment require comprehensive policy responses to address root causes and enhance preventive measures.
