In a shocking incident, K.R. A woman waiting for a bus in the market late at night was allegedly gang-raped and robbed by two men. This incident happened in K.R. It happened around 11:30 pm near Godown Street under the jurisdiction of Market police station.
The victim, a mother of four daughters, had come from Tamil Nadu to Bengaluru to meet her brother. He is K.R. She was in the market looking for a bus to Yelahanka when she contacted the accused for directions. Two men named Saravan and Ganesh offered to show him the way, but instead they took him to an isolated place on Godown Street and assaulted him.
After the assault, the men allegedly stole her mobile phone, ₹650 cash, a gold bracelet, earrings, silver anklets and her mangalsutra and fled the scene. They also threatened him not to inform anyone about this incident.
The suffering of the victim is heartbreaking. Married at an early age, she was abandoned by her husband after the birth of four daughters. After her husband's second marriage, she left her home due to disputes and took refuge in an ashram, where she grew up during her childhood.
Struggling to make ends meet, the woman kept moving from one place to another. After living with her sister for some time and then working as a housekeeper in a paying guest accommodation, she decided to join her brother in the hopes of finding some stability.
Not having enough money for bus fare, he tried to use a free bus service, but was denied entry because he did not have an Aadhaar card. Determined, she somehow managed to collect ₹650 by asking for help near the market to get her card printed and buy tickets. The sad part is that it was during this attempt that she met the accused, who seduced her on the pretext of helping her reach Yelahanka.
Following the victim's complaint, a case was registered at the Bengaluru Central Women's Police Station. Saravan and Ganesh are soon arrested. Both the men, who worked as laborers in the market, are now in police custody and the investigation is ongoing.
The incident has sparked outrage, highlighting the vulnerability of women, especially those in distress. The authorities have assured strict action against the culprits and promised to help the victim in her recovery.
