India
A 20-year-old domestic worker in Bengaluru was attacked at her Belagere Road home on April 3 after she stood up to repeated sexual harassment.
The men reportedly locked the house from outside, broke down the door, and dragged her out before neighbors stepped in and got her medical help.
Arrests under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita law
Police have arrested two suspects under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita law for stalking and intimidation, while others are still being tracked down.
The victim shared that she faced ongoing threats and harassment from the accused, saying, I live alone and have no family. I fear for my life, she said.
She is now under the care of a city-based social activist as investigations continue.
