Four boys detained by police for harassing Japanese girl in Holi.

Three boys, including one juvenile, were detained by Delhi Police in relation to harassing Japanese girl during Holi. 

The search for those boys was started after the clip of the incident went viral on social media of a Japanese woman being harassed by some boys purposely to apply colours on her during Holi.

“The boys in the video were identified through meticulous efforts by field officers and local intelligence. Three boys, including one juvenile, were apprehended and questioned. “They have confessed/admitted to the incident/happening depicted in the video,” stated Delhi Police in a statement.

According to the statement, the woman has not filed a complaint with either the Japanese embassy or the Delhi Police.

Action has been taken against people detained under the Delhi Police Act. The statement read, “Further legal action will be considered on merits and in compliance with the girl’s allegation if any.

I am issuing notice to Delhi Police to examine these videos and arrest the perpetrators! Completely shameful behaviour!
