Bengaluru: SUV Driver Arrested For Stalking, Sexual Harassment And Assault

A 26-year-old SUV driver in Karnataka’s Bengaluru was apprehended for conducting a heinous act where he stalked, sexually harassed and assaulted a woman. The man executed the crime near the Electronics City area while the six-month pregnant woman was returning from home earlier this week. Subsequent to lodging a complaint against the accused, the officials acted swiftly and arrested the predator.

According to the reports, a woman who works as a nurse confronted the police with her account of an incident in which a man allegedly propositioned her with an offer of Rs 1 lakh for every hour she spent with him. He then proceeded to inappropriately touch her. In response, the nurse struck the accused.

Following this, the accused retaliated by punching her in the face and ear before fleeing the scene. This resulted in the victim experiencing a nosebleed. Despite her injuries, the nurse contacted a colleague for assistance and went to the Electronics City police station to file a complaint.
