19-year old fights off her molester, police on lookout
A 19-year-old fought off her neighbour, who allegedly tried to molest her, when she was home alone on the night of June 2. The man has run away, leaving the police on a lookout for him.
BENGALURU: The man has been booked under Section 354 A (sexual harassment) of the IPC, based on the woman's complaint. Police said he has fled along with his family. The complainant lives with her widowed mother. Allegedly, the man visited her house around 8 PM on June 2 and tried to molest her.
"I heard the bell and opened the door to find my neighbour standing there. He asked for my mother and I told him she'd gone to the market. Suddenly, he covered my mouth with his hand and pushed me towards the floor. I fell down. He locked the door and tried to molest me. Gathering all the courage I had, I repeatedly kicked his stomach and chest. He lost grip on me, and I pushed him. I ran into the bedroom, locked it and shouted for help through the window. I heard him opening the main door " she said in the complaint.
Minutes later, her mother returned and they proceeded to the police station to file a complaint. Cops said they rushed to the man's home immediately, only to find out that he has fled with his family. A special team is on the lookout for the offender.
