The victim told that after facing this, she rejected his advances and termed him as a drug addict which got him enraged. The youth then went on to grab the victim’s hair from inside his car and dragged her along the road for a while before letting go.

Having witnessed the incident, the locals reportedly went after him and caught him near Bhetapara after a long chase. They handed him over to the police after that.

Dispur Police had also seized the car, a Maruti WagonR having registration number AS 01 BD 9455, that was involved in the incident.

Following the incident, locals of the area including many women come out in support of the victim. The incident took place after newly appointed Guwahati Police Commissioner Diganta Borah had just issued directions of strict vigil against road traffic rule violators.
