Panaji, December 09: The Russian girl, who was allegedly raped by a politician in Goa, claimed that a group of people linked to the accused tried to assault her outside a court this evening.
The 25-year-old girl apparently was returning after the district and sessions court granted anticipatory bail to John Fernandes.
“I was sitting in the car along with my friend when a mob encircled us and tried to attack. Thankfully, car windows were pulled halfway up and they could not reach us,” the girl told PTI tonight.
She said that one among the crowd pounced on the car and retracted after seeing a TV journalist arriving at the scene.
“The crowd hurled abuses and threatened me to finish off,” she alleged.
The victim said she immediately rushed to Panaji, 30 kms away from the scene, to complain to the police about the attempt to assault her.
