Bengaluru: A Brazilian model working in Bengaluru was allegedly molested by a grocery delivery agent at her apartment. The accused, a 21-year-old diploma engineering student, was later arrested by RT Nagar police and remanded in judicial custody.
According to the police, the victim, who works as a model and is employed with a private company, had placed a grocery order through a delivery app on October 17.
When the delivery agent reached her first-floor apartment, he allegedly misbehaved with her by touching her inappropriately after noticing that she was alone.
The woman screamed for help and managed to lock the door, preventing further assault. Shocked by the incident, she did not immediately disclose it to anyone.
On October 25, her employer learned about the incident and helped her file a complaint with the RT Nagar police.
Based on the complaint, police arrested the accused, identified as Kumar (21), a diploma student at a private college.
The company sacked the accused from the portal immediately, the police said.
