A 25-year-old MNC executive was reportedly thrashed by a group of Nigerians in South Delhi's Amar Colony area, after she asked them to stop making noise outside her house.

The complainant was allegedly slapped and punched repeatedly by the Nigerian nationals, following which her nose was fractured, preliminary investigations have revealed.

The incident occurred on Monday. The victim was helpless as no bystander came to her rescue for nearly 15 minutes despite her raising an alarm.

According to a senior police officer of South East district, the incident occurred on February 9 when the victim, who stays with her mother, had just returned from her office.

"After reaching home at around 9 pm, the victim was talking to her friend over the phone at her balcony when she found the four Nigerian nationals screaming outside her residence," the officer said.

The accused allegedly started misbehaving with the victim after she requested them not to shout and tried to stop them. "The victim got angry and stepped out of her home. She asked the accused to go away after stepping out of her home as they were creating a nuisance. However, the accused entered into a heated argument with her that turned into a scuffle," the officer added.

The accused allegedly pushed the victim before slapping her, according to the police. "The victim started screaming for help after she was slapped. This angered the accused further, who punched her on the nose. Locals came out of their homes after hearing the commotion, but no one came forward to her rescue," the officer said.

The victim somehow managed to escape from their clutches after which the accused fled from the spot, the officer added. The victim made a call to the police control room (PCR) and informed the police about the incident.

"After receiving the call, a PCR van reached the spot and the victim was taken to a nearby hospital. Police personnel posted at the Amar Colony police station reached the hospital and recorded the statement of the victim," the officer added.

On the basis of the victim's statement, a case was registered under Section 325 (punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt) and Section 34 of the IPC at the Amar Colony police station. However, no arrests have been made so far in the case even after two days of the incident.
