Meanwhile, in connection with the molestation incident that took place on New Year's Eve, four persons were arrested on Thursday. A woman was groped and assaulted by two scooter-borne men near her home, a shocking incident caught on camera that caused a national outrage.
The accused had been stalking the victim for four or five days and molested her when she was returning home after celebrating New Year, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Praveen Sood told reporters, amid growing public anger over delay in nabbing the culprits.
"This is a plan prepared by six of them. One of them groped. Others assisted," the Police Commissioner said.
He gave the names of the arrested as Aiyappa, the main culprit who molested the woman and Leno, Sudesh and Somashekar.
Aiyappa and Sudesh are delivery boys, Leno was a helper and Somashekhar a driver, Sood said, adding, a bike had been seized from them. "They have confessed (to the crime)," he said.
The arrest came three days after a CCTV footage surfaced showing two scooter-borne two men accost a woman, zoom past her, take a U-turn and halt the vehicle before one of them jumps off, gropes her and escapes even as bystanders watch without coming to her help.
