The incident has left her shaken.

"I am extremely terrified. They molested me amid heavy public presence. Even traffic cops were there. It is very scary," she said.

The Gurgaon police said that a case had been registered on the woman's complaint.

"We registered a case today afternoon at the Shivaji Nagar police station. We are looking for both the accused persons who are unidentified," Manish Sehgal, Gurgaon Police PRO told PTI.

The woman alleged that the police had initially tried to hush up the matter but when an NGO intervened, a case was registered.
