In a shocking incident which brought a blot on IT city Bengaluru, a Manipuri Woman was abducted and molested by a man last week. The CCTV grabs, which were made available to the police and to the media, clearly show an unidentified man abducted the woman and took her to an under-construction building and tried to rape her.
According to police, the 25-year-old girl from the North-East was abducted while she was on a call in front of her paying guest (PG) accommodation at Katriguppe in South Bengaluru on April 23, was captured by a CCTV, which shows she was abducted and allegedly tried to rape her.
The victim told the media that she resisted him and escaped after biting the abductor’s hand. She rushed back to her PG and narrated her ordeal. The Manipuri woman, who works in a private beauty clinic in Kalyana Nagar, was dropped off outside the PG near Maramma Temple in the area by her friend. Since she got a call, the victim stood outside the PG, speaking on the phone, when the accused grabbed her from behind and took her to a building under construction nearby.
She said even though after giving the CCTV footage the Channammana Achukattu Police in Bengaluru South registered her complaint but so far failed to take any action.
In the CCTV footage, the victim is seen standing by the street, talking over the phone before a man walks up behind her and lifts her. He is then seen taking her into the under-construction building as bystanders looked on. The victim was apparently standing right outside her PG accommodation, but no one came forward to help.
Meanwhile National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson lalitha Kumaramangalam on Monday requested the victim to come forward and help the authorities in identifying the molester and bring him to justice.
The victim told the TV channels that she was lifted like an animal and no one helped her.
