Bengaluru: Four youths, including two delivery boys, were arrested for allegedly molesting and groping a young woman on New Year Day here, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Praveen Sood said on Thursday.
The four were identified as Ayyappa, Leno, Somashekar and Sudhesh. They are in the age group of 19-24 years.
“We are on the lookout for two more of their accomplices as six men planned the heinous incident after stalking the victim that night,” Sood told reporters.
Ayyappa is the main accused who groped the victim while Leno molested her soon after forcing her to sit on the scooter.
Pleading with mediapersons not to ask for any information about the victim as she had been traumatised, Sood said though the accused were from the same locality (Kammanahalli), the victim did not know them as she was new to the city, having come only a week ago.
The accused would be produced before a court on Friday for four-five day police custody to interrogate them. They have been charged with wrongful restraint, assault or criminal force on a woman with intent to outrage her modesty and criminal act. (IANS)
