In a shocking incident, a young man abducted and attempted to rape a 25-year-old Manipuri woman in public view on the night of April 23 in Bengaluru. The entire act was caught on a CCTV camera. The incident came to light only yesterday and the CCTV footage has been going viral ever since.
The victim, an employee at a beauty parlor in the IT city, was speaking over the phone in front of her PG accommodation on the fateful night and the footage shows the man lurking around and suddenly grabbing her from behind and dragging her towards an under-construction building while passers-by were walking around.
The woman fought hard and tried to escape from him. When the man closed her mouth, she bit his hand and screamed for help. The man hit her hard until she fell unconscious and abandoned her alone before fleeing the spot. The victim regained her consciousness and approached the police.
But the police reportedly booked a kidnapping case first and later changed it to an attempted rape case after the CCTV footage caught Karnataka state home minister's attention who ordered the cops to take the case more seriously. In a latest update, the culprit has been nabbed finally and a further investigation is on.
