In what could further tarnish Bengaluru's reputation on women's safety, a CCTV footage showing man on a bike molesting a woman has surfaced.
The video shows women walking on a street. Moments later, a bike with two men on it moves very closely from behind. The man riding pillion molests one of the women.
Months earlier, Bengaluru police had earned flak after a New Year eve revelry turned into a nightmare for several women who were allegedly molested at a large gathering in city's downtown area.
Eyewitness accounts had suggested that women were molested and groped and lewd remarks were also passed by miscreants late night on December 31 in the posh area even as it was claimed that 1,500 police personnel had been deployed to control the crowds.
