The Mahadevapura police have arrested a 25-year-old man on charges of sneaking into a house where four women were staying at Hoodi in Whitefield and trying to misbehave with them.
The man, who is a neighbour, has been identified as Murali alias Gym Murali. He claims to be a member of a pro-Kannada organisation.
The police said Murali sneaked into the first floor of a rented house either to peep into the bathroom used by the women or for misbehaving with them.
The women spotted Murali around 9.30 p.m. on the first floor of their house last week and raised an alarm. Murali took to heels and jumped off the building. His escapade was caught on a CCTV camera installed in the rented residential building where the women stayed. The women then lodged a complaint with the police, who arrested Murali.
The Mahadevapura police have booked the accused under IPC section 354 - assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty. The accused was produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.
