Woman screamed for help

Man escaped from the spot

In a shocking incident, a woman was harassed on the streets during the early hours of 27th July. The incident occurred in the Krishna Nagar region of Bengaluru. This region falls under the jurisdiction of the Konanakunte Police Station. 

A woman was combing her hair on the corner of a street. A man who was swinging both his arms entered the scene. His movements were similar to that of a cat. He acted in a perverted manner while trying to be outside her line of vision. The woman screamed for help and managed to flee as the man escaped from the spot.

Although the incident occurred on 27th July, the woman did not file any complaint. The incident was however captured on a CCTV camera. The visuals were later broadcast by the media. This provided the woman the courage to approach the police. Police officials reached the location of the incident and took the CCTV DVR under their possession. Further investigations are underway. 

Travel during the late hours of a day always had an element of risk attached to it in the city of Bengaluru. This incident also raises questions with regard to whether a similar risk persists during the early hours of the day.
