Bengaluru: Former Bangalore University Professor B C Mylarappa on Friday was interrogated by the Basaveshwaranagar police for allegedly threatening a woman who had earlier accused him of sexual harassment.
An investigating officer said that the woman had worked with Mylarappa when he was working at Bangalore University in 2022. At that time, she had filed a sexual harassment complaint against him at the Kamakshipalya police station.
On October 9, she filed another complaint alleging that Mylarappa had been pressuring her to transfer ownership of a house to his name and had also issued threats. He was summoned to appear before the police and his statement was recorded. However, he obtained bail from the court.
When DH contacted Mylarappa, he shared a bail copy received from the court and alleged that it's a conspiracy to damage his image. "I will legally fight as all allegations are false," he said.
