JOIN USA small-time actor has reported being abused and molested by a male friend at a medical store on KTG College Road in Hegganahalli, north Bengaluru, on Sunday evening.
In a complaint to the Rajagopalanagar police, the woman said her estranged friend Sachin called her a whore, tore up her clothes and molested her at the medical store run by a common friend named Ashok.
He fled as passersby rushed to the store after she raised an alarm.
The woman said she had befriended Sachin and his brother Praveen while living in Hegganahalli about three years ago. She later moved to Vijayanagar.
The woman had complained to Ashok about Sachin and Praveen as they were making advances at her. She said the brothers often sexted her or sent erotic videos. They got upset when she didn’t reciprocate.
Around 6.40 pm on Sunday, Praveen telephoned her and chatted her up. He also sent her sexually explicit text messages, she said in the complaint. She then went to meet Ashok at his store and requested him to pull up the brothers. Ashok called up Praveen and warned him sternly.
Praveen narrated the incident to his brother who got angry and headed straight for the store where he is reported to have molested her.
The inspector of Rajagopalanagar police station said Sachin had been booked under IPC Section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and they are looking out for him as well as his brother. The woman will be questioned, too.
