Bengaluru CCTV captures woman being molested despite wearing full clothes

January 4, 2017

New Delhi, Jan 4: The incidence of mass molestation which occurred in Bengaluru city on the night of New Year's Eve has certainly highlighted the need for change in the mentality of men instead of lifestyle choices made by women. However, SP'S Azmi claims that the incidence occurred because of 'half-clothed women'.

Now, a CCTV footage recovered from Bengaluru registers a chilling account of how unsafe women truly are in the city. Around 2:30 AM on Sunday after the mass molestation created havoc on New Year's Eve, a woman was forcefully groped by bike-borne men near Kammanahalli 5th Main Road in east Bengaluru.

In the CCTV footage, a woman can be seen getting off an autorickshaw in a residential area. In the moments that follow, two bike-borne men stop the girl as one man openly gropes at the woman who puts up a fierce resistance. The attacker then tries to drag the woman towards his friend. However, when the woman continues to resist the attackers, the two miscreants flee the scene.

The woman who was attacked by the molesters said that her purse was snatched by the attackers. A case has been registered and police are conducting preliminary investigations into the matter.

On 31st December, women attendees at a mass New Year's Eve gathering in Bengaluru were sexually molested and attacked by groups of men while police became mute spectators in the chaos. Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said that these incidents happen because women try to copy western culture.

Very unfortunate. However, women in India will never be safe at late hours no matter if she is with male compatriots. Only solution is to maintain her modesty first and foremost, secondly severe punishment for the culprits.

2:30 am and a lonely girl partying late and returning. Even though what happened with her is regrettable, but she can avoid such awkward incidents if she had accompanied with a blood relatives of her like brother, uncle etc. Don't blame the world when you are giving easy opportunities to wild dogs roaming in the nights.

2.30 am ( night) a single lady and a new year night going out
then blaming drunken youngsters and police ???
Even Sri Ram could not protect his own wife (kidnapped by Rawan),
how can you expect police to cover entire Bangalore city to protect
a crazy women who is going single in the late night.

It was warned by the Prophet Mohammed in 1400 years ago , that a ladies should not go alone , she must accompany her blood relatives in some places and circumstances.

Is it necessary for you to celebrate immediately, it can wait until the morning.

Udupi, Dec 15: What was meant to be a post-pilgrimage gathering turned tragic in Padukere village of Brahmavar taluk, Udupi district, late Sunday night, when a clash among youths escalated into a fatal assault, leaving one man dead.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Santosh Mogaveera, a resident of Padukere.
