The woman said that, “she was nearly kidnapped by Vikas Barala and his friend, who were in a Tata Safari SUV”.
The CM of Haryana in response to opposition demands to remove the BJP chief from his post and said that, “this issue is not of Subhash Barala. This is an individual issue, and law will take its own decision”. Barala Senior said that, “he had full faith in the law. We respect the law and law has taken its course. Truth will soon come out through the court. I have full faith in the law”. The police men said that, “we have accused Vikas Barala and his friend Ashish of haunting and drunken driving. The more serious charge of seizure was not added since it was not in the woman’s initial statement”.
She posted and told on Friday that, “she was followed by the car of the assailants from a petrol pump. They repeatedly blocked her car and tried to corner her twice one of the men got off the car and came towards her. When the police reached her, following her frantic calls, he was banging on her window and trying to open the door”. Also she wrote that, “I find it shocking, that in a place with cameras at every light and cops every 200 meters, these boys thought they could either get into my car or take me into their ca, just because they are from an influential background”.
