Ana Valentina Obispo from Uruguay was cycling without wearing a pair of gloves or a mask at 6.30 pm on Saturday.

During this incident, officials of the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) also reached the spot and informed the police that they are also trying to convince the foreign nationals of Vasant Vihar to take all necessary precautions, but they are not listening to them.
