Bengaluru woman assaulted by father-son duo over alleged affair

Bengaluru: A 37-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by a father and son in Vyalikaval on Friday night after she reportedly spoke about an alleged illicit relationship.

Police said the complainant, Devika, who works at a printing press, alleged that at around 10 pm, her neighbours Nagaraj, a real estate broker, and his son Lokesh dragged and assaulted her in front of her family members near her residence.

Devika told police that she had not voluntarily disclosed anything about the alleged relationship involving Lokesh, who is married and has a child, but had responded only when questioned by Lokesh’s wife. Following this, the accused allegedly confronted and attacked her.

Based on her complaint, Vyalikaval police have registered a case and issued notices to the accused for further investigation. Meanwhile, the accused have also filed a counter-complaint alleging that Devika threatened to damage their reputation and abused members of their family.
