Bengaluru, Jun 11: A young female software engineer was allegedly molested by miscreant while walking on a road near her PG accommodation at Kundalahalli in Bengaluru recently.

The 25-year-old techie, however, fought back the man who tried to strip her and handed him over to police with the help of a passerby.

The victim, a native of Bhubaneswar in Odisha had come to the city in April this year after she got a job with an IT major.

According to the police, Vijay Kumar, a bar-bender, attacked the woman when she’d gone out for a walk at 9.15pm. He lunged at her and tried to rip her shirt, throwing her to the ground, the police said.

The woman got up and rained blows on Kumar, who began to run in panic. But she chased him and with passersby’s help, caught him.

The police said the accused was under the influence of alcohol and claimed he was not aware what had happened on the street. But the woman alleged the man misbehaved with her intentionally and tried to disrobe her on the street. Police accepted the woman’s complaint on and arrested him.
