Bengaluru Student Raped By Unknown Biker Who Gave Her Lift

Bengaluru: The rot in our society is so deep-rooted that even a gruesome incident like the rape and murder of an on-duty junior doctor at a Kolkata hospital fails to deter rapists.

The latest ‘act’ took place here in the early hours of Sunday, when a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted by an unknown biker whom she had hitch-hiked.

According to Additional Commissioner of Police (East Zone) Raman Gupta, the final-year degree student in a city college was returning home to Hebbagodi after a get-together in Koramangala.

“A man from whom she had taken a ‘lift’ made a criminal assault and raped her. We have registered a rape case and started an investigation,” Gupta told reporters.

The police officer said prima facie it appeared she was returning from a get-together in Koramangala.

“There is only one suspect. The man who gave her a lift is suspected to be the rapist and our investigations are on,” the officer said.

Gupta, along with other police officers, visited the spot, and spoke to the victim and her relatives.

“We gathered all information and have formed five teams. We are carrying out the investigation further and the culprit will be arrested soon,” he added.
