New Delhi: A 28-year-old man, the son of a former senior Delhi police official, was arrested here for trying to abduct a married Afghan woman, police said Sunday.
Amit Singh, a former national-level basketball player, was arrested from a hideout Saturday.
The incident took place near a flyover in south Delhi's Ashram area May 27 night when the woman, in her 20s, and her husband were going to a medicine store in Lajpat Nagar market, police said.
"When the couple were crossing the road, Singh asked the woman to sit in his car. He tried to abduct the woman after the couple ignored him. He also beat up the woman's husband when he resisted," a police official said.
Singh works with a school in Gurgaon as a physical education teacher.
He lives in Neb Sarai area of south Delhi with his family. His father Satveer Singh retired as assistant commissioner of police (traffic) in July 2013.
