New Delhi, Jan 3 Ahead of a protest in connection with the death of a 20-year-old woman, who was dragged by a car, more personnel were stationed outside the Delhi Police headquarters here.

A senior police official said that the force had been deployed to avoid any untoward incident. "Protest is expected and as a precautionary measure, police teams have been deployed just to maintain the law and order situation," said the official.

The incident took place on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 after the victim's scooty was hit by the car and her clothes had gotten entangled in one of the wheels, which led to her being dragged.
