On April 8, 2023, police officers visited a residence in Sarai Rohilla, North Delhi, to question a man accused of sexual assault and extortion. Initially cooperative, the family soon trapped the officers inside the home. One son secured the main entrance while the accused claimed he needed to use the washroom. During the confusion, the wife obstructed the officer's path, allowing the accused to escape to an upper floor, where he fled through a window as police remained locked inside. Authorities have since launched a manhunt for the suspect and are investigating the family's role in the escape. A case has been registered against them under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, citing obstruction of a public servant and wrongful confinement.
