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.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.
