Four foreigners, who claim to be officials of embassies of three African countries, allegedly misbehaved and threatened a woman assistant manager of a prominent hotel here this evening, police said.
The woman, an assistant training manager of a prominent hotel in New Delhi district, in her complaint alleged that she was shown obscene gestures and intimidated by the four persons who were sitting in a car belonging to an embassy near Janpath market.
The girl then raised an alarm and police personnel on duty there apprehended the accused.
They were taken to the police station and a case under sections 509 (outraging the modesty of woman), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) was registered against them at Connaught Place police station.
Of the four men against whom a case has been registered include two Lebanese national and one each Algerian and Yemeni.
Police sources said they were verifying whether the accused have diplomatic status. One of them have already provided documents and was let off after verification.
If the others are found not to be covered under diplomatic immunity, sources said, they will be arrested.
The charges against the accused are bailable.
The embassies could not be contacted for their version.
