Police search for Suddaguntepalya molestation victim, form special teams to trace culprit

BENGALURU: Despite intense searches by police teams, the Suddaguntepalya molestation victim has not been found. Tracing the young woman has become a major challenge for the city police.

On April 3, CCTV footage shows two women walking on the road at 1:52 am. The accused approached the two women from behind at midnight on 1st Cross, Bharathi Layout, Suddaguntepalya. After following them for a short distance, he suddenly lunges forward and gropes one of the women. When the woman screamed for help, he immediately fled the scene.

The women, visibly shocked by the unexpected turn of events, quickly moved away from the area, unable to react in time due to the suddenness of the attack.

A case has been registered, and the Suddaguntepalya police have formed four special teams to track down the accused and the victim. Based on a complaint from a local resident, the police have registered an FIR. Although the victims have not filed a complaint, a local resident has lodged a complaint with the CCTV footage at the police station.
