Now a burqa-clad woman molested in Bangalore; Abu Azmis of the world, wake up
BENGALURU: Even before the outrage over the New Year's eve molestation incidents could subside, another such incident had rocked the city. The victim of the incident reported on Friday morning is a 25-year-old burqa-clad woman.
The victim suffered minor injuries in the assault. According to Kadugondanahalli (K G Halli) police, the incident occurred between 6.15 to 6.25 am, as the woman was heading to the bus stop. The woman, who is a resident of Vinoba Nagar, was walking along Govindapura Main Road, near Arabic College, to reach the Outer Ring Road junction at Nagawara. After walking almost half the way, she was 'ambushed' by an
unidentified youth from behind who whispered 'Don't shout' in Urdu.
Fearing she would be abused by the man, she raised an alarm which caught the attention of locals nearby, the police said. "The girl regularly walks along the Road to catch a bus to Koramangala, where she is employed as a Sales Assistant in a start up. On Friday however, the guy followed and allegedly molested her, resulting in some injuries," K G Halli police said.
The woman suffered injuries on her tongue, arm and leg. "While the injuries on her tongue were self inflicted due to shock and fear, minor injuries to her arm and leg were caused as the accused pushed the victim to the ground," police said.
Locals quickly converged on the spot hearing her cries of help, by which time the accused fled the spot.
A complaint was filed by the girl at K G Halli police station during the late hours of noon. Police are on the look out for the accused.
Like the molestation incident in Kammanahalli in the city, the attack was captured on the CCTV camera of a house in the neighbourhood. Footage sourced from the camera showed that the girl was being stalked by the miscreant before he pounced on the girl.
