A sexual harassment case was reported in Bengaluru as an unidentified suspect molested a woman who was walking through an empty street during the late night.
CCTV Footage Reveals Alarming Attack
The woman accompanied her friend into a quiet residential neighborhood yet encountered an unconstraint attacker who started her assault behind her back according to Aaj Tak. The recorded video footage displays the attacker handling the victim sexually until she successfully defended herself and drove him away. The visuals demonstrate that both the low light levels coupled with an absence of other people made it possible for the attacker to execute his attack without being caught.
