NLSIU student molested

A 25-year-old female student of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) on the Bangalore University campus was molested by an unidentified man who came on a bike on Nagarabhavi market road in Chandra Layout recently.

The incident occurred on April 10. The victim, however, lodged a police complaint on April 29, after discussing the incident with her friends, family and professors, police said.

The victim, along with her friend, had stepped out of their hostel around 8.30 pm for a walk near their college. They then ordered food from an eatery on Nagarabhavi market road, 80 metres from the college gate, her complaint said.

While the women were waiting for their order, the man came by, touched her from behind and went away. He was riding single and wearing a helmet. He stopped the bike in a dark corner, waited for a few minutes, came back and caught her hand, the complaint said.

He then headed towards a bike servicing garage nearby and was seen standing with a few men. When the man again started coming towards them, the women sensed danger and moved swiftly into their college campus.

It said the man was wearing a green T-shirt and brown trousers. He is wheatish in complexion, 5 feet 8 inches tall, of normal build and was clean shaven.

Teams formed
Chandra Layout police have registered a case, collected CCTV footage from nearby locations and have formed two teams to nab the culprit.

The victim said there was a delay in filing the complaint as she was in a state of shock. “We have taken the case seriously. Two teams have been formed. They have clues about the culprit and he will soon be nabbed,” said M N Anucheth, DCP (West).
