These incidents have come to light as police are investigating incidents on the night of December 31 on M G Road and Brigade Road, where several women were allegedly molested, groped and lewd remarks passed by miscreants. All of that happened despite the presence of 1,500 police personnel to control the unruly New Year revellers.
