Woman sexually harassed and assaulted in Bengaluru
A woman was sexually harassed and assaulted by a group of intoxicated men near Bengaluru's Renuka Yellamma Layout on Sunday afternoon.
CCTV footage shows the men blocking her way, trying to touch and speak with her, and slapping her as she tried to fight back.
When she resisted, they beat her until locals and a friend stepped in to help.
Counter cases filed
After the incident, police registered a case under section 74 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita based on the woman's complaint.
The accused were reportedly drunk and high at the time.
In a twist, the victim's friend—a gym trainer who tried to help—was arrested for allegedly assaulting one of the attackers.
Both sides have filed complaints, leading to counter cases. Police are actively investigating and say all those involved will be held accountable.
