Gritty woman chases down molester, hands him over to cops

A brave 27-year-old woman chased down and caught her molester and handed him over to police with the help of  a few friends in HSR Layout on November 17.

The accused, identified as Narayanswamy, a resident of Begur, has been arrested. The police are on the lookout for his friend who was  riding a bike, while the duo committed the crime.

According to the police, the incident  occurred  on Friday evening when the victim was returning from a gym in HSR Layout 6th block.

Two men on a bike approached her and passed lewd comments at her. While the victim ignored them and continued to walk, pillion rider Narayanswamy groped her.

She raised an alarm and started chasing the bike, which resulted in the rider losing control and the duo falling down.

 While the woman managed to catch hold of Narayanswamy, the rider fled the spot. The victim called her friends and trainers from the gym, who rushed to the spot and beat the accused up before handing him over to the police.

The HSR Layout police have registered  a case and interrogated Narayanswamy to get  details about the identity of his partner-in-crime.

The police are also reviewing the CCTV footage in and around the spot as a part of collection of evidence. Narayanswamy was produced before a magistrate, who remanded him to judicial custody.
