<div align="justify">A woman said to be an air hostess with Jet Airways was reportedly molested by a motorcyclist when she was walking back from a fast food restaurant along with a friend in HRBR Layout, east Bengaluru.<br /><br />The 22-year-old woman and her friend had decided to take a walk after eating at ‘99 Dose’ restaurant on the night of February 12, 2017. Around 10 pm, as they reached 3rd ‘A’ Main, 4th ‘B’ Cross, a man wearing a full-face helmet rode on a bike and brushed against her. <br /><br />The man pulled at her top and tried to molest her. Before she and her friend could react, he rode off. They raised an alarm and called the police. A Hoysala patrol car also arrived but it was too late. Police tried to persuade the woman and her friend to lodge a complaint immediately, but they chose to leave the place. She filed the complaint on February 14. <br /><br />“We have registered a case under IPC Section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and are checking the CCTV footage,” a senior police officer said. DCP (East) Ajay Hilori, however, told DH it could be a case of attempted chain-snatching. “The man laid his hand around her neck and tried to grab the chain. She was not molested as has been claimed. Still, the investigation is going on,” he said. <br /><br />Police detained a few people on Monday evening. Their questioning revealed the suspect wanted to rob her.</div>
