The Bengaluru city police have arrested four persons in connection with the Kammanahalli molestation case where a woman was assaulted by two men in the early hours of January 1.

While one of the accused is a goods van driver, two are courier delivery men and another a B.Com student.

 

According to the police, two of the accused were also working as part-time delivery boys for a restaurant, which the victim used to visit frequently. Investigation revealed that the accused used to deliver food to the victim's home, whenever she ordered online.

They were also stalking her for the last one week. On January 1, they followed her while she was returning home after having dinner at the same hotel.

Based on a CCTV footage, the police tracked down the accused. The police are also trying to trace the victim through her mobile phone so that she can identify the accused. Her statement would need to be recorded, as it is crucial for further investigation. A team of women police is on the job.
