Last Updated 27 February 2018, 18:55 IST

Three men were arrested over a sexual harassment complaint filed by a 29-year-old journalist.

The woman filed the complaint with the Cubbon Park police on Monday, after which police arrested Bijith (20), Mithun (19), both students at Baldwin's College, and Ashith (22) alias Nikhil, from Lakkasandra.

The journalist, who works for a news portal, said she was walking home with two of her male friends near Puravankara Park on HRP Road near Cubbon Park around 1.30 am when three men drove up on a bike and passed lewd comments.

She objected to it while her companions argued with the men. The quarrel ended in fisticuffs as the three men assaulted the woman's friends.

The commotion drew passersby who caught one of the men while the other two sped off. The woman and her friends handed the accused to the Cubbon Park police besides filing a complaint.

On Tuesday, police arrested the other two suspects and booked them for outraging the modesty of a woman, assault and disturbing peace.
