Two sisters, who allegedly beat up a 58-year-old security guard inside their house in east Delhi’s Vasundhara enclave weeks ago, were arrested on Saturday after a fresh furor and dramatic sequence of events, when They abused a retired senior police officer. He beat his daughters and his wife, crashed his car into a police van, tried to run over a policeman and residents, dragged a scooter as they fled towards Noida and tried to escape officers who were chasing him for almost two kilometers before he be detained.

Charvi Jain (23) and Bhavya Jain (21), residents of Anekant Apartment, were arrested on Saturday night and charged with a host of charges, including attempt to murder.

The two women were in the news just a few weeks ago. On September 10, HT reported that the two locked Akhilesh Kumar Dubey, a security guard of the building, in his house, singed him with a hot iron and beat him with a badminton racket after calling him to solve a supply problem. water.

When police personnel reached the spot to investigate the incident, the Jain sisters locked themselves in the house for over a week and refused to join the police investigation. Police finally filed a non-bailable warrant application on October 1. The Delhi court is yet to rule on this application.

The chaos began on Friday after the two women allegedly honked their car horn incessantly and disturbed their neighbours, including former Uttar Pradesh deputy superintendent of police Ashok Kumar Sharma, a cancer patient, who filed one of the four first reports presented against the sisters.

In his statement to the police, Sharma said he was sleeping when he heard the horn at around 11.45 pm.

“(When I asked them to stop) They both came to the balcony and started abusing and threatening me. Then they started throwing small diyas at me, which were placed on the street. I called the security guard, but he was also scared because the women had assaulted a guard in September. The matter came to an end after many difficulties,” he said in the FIR.

However, the problem arose again the next day.

Sharma said the two women allegedly attacked Sharma’s wife and two daughters outside their house around 6:30 pm on Saturday. He alleged that they bit one of Sharma’s daughters and slapped the other.

When their mother tried to intervene, the sisters allegedly beat her as well. One of Sharma’s daughters, Reena Sharma, lodged the second FIR against him.

Sharma, her family and other residents allegedly gathered in front of the women’s house, where they allegedly abused everyone. Police were then called to the scene and the female suspects also allegedly abused the police team.

Around 7:30 p.m., the sisters got into their car and left the apartment complex, crashing into several cars and damaging flower pots installed inside the complex. They tried to run over the police personnel while they were trying to flee, according to the third FIR, filed by a police chief.

Shortly after the women left the apartment complex, they allegedly crashed into a scooter parked near a tea shop. The owner of the two-wheeler, Joginder (who goes by one name), said he was drinking tea at a nearby stall and alleged that the women were speeding and also abused him after colliding with his vehicle.

The women allegedly turned their car toward him and tried to hit him, but he jumped out of the way. However, he said his scooter became trapped under the car’s wheels and was dragged for almost a mile.

Following Joginder’s complaint, a fourth FIR was registered.

A senior police officer said that the officials who were present inside the complex started following the sisters and the Noida police were also alerted. “Delhi Police officers, with the help of Noida Police, chased the women for a few kilometers and managed to arrest them,” the officer said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Apoorva Gupta Gupta said the two are unemployed. His father Neeraj Jain runs a printing press and his mother is a homemaker.

The parents live in Paharganj and declined to comment when contacted by HT. It has not been established whether the sisters owned the Vasundhara house or rented it.
