The Yeshwanthpura Police have arrested a 45-year-old man for sedating, molesting and later robbing female acquaintances.
The accused, identified as Gnanaprakash, was arrested based on a complaint by a victim from Mathikere.
According to the police, the unemployed accused visited distant relatives, acquaintance and friends at their residence when no male member of the family was present. The accused then offered sweets laced with sedatives and molested them before escaping with valuables.
A detailed probe led the accused to confess that he had committed similar offences in and around Bengaluru, but the victims fearing their reputations have not filed complaints. The police are contacting the victims to file complaint against him.
