New Delhi: A man was walking with his mother in Hyderabad’s Jawahar Nagar area, when he touched a woman returning from a clothes store nearby at around 8 pm. When she raised an alarm, the man reportedly stripped her, tearing her clothes, on the road itself. Security camera footage of the incident has found its way to social media, enraging citizens.
Another woman, who was passing by on a two-wheeler, stopped and tried to stop the man but he turned aggressive towards her too. Meanwhile, the police reached the spot and overpowered the man and took him into custody.
The woman was reportedly naked for some time on the road before some women covered her with a blue plastic sheet and got help, NDTV reported.
As for the man’s mother, she reportedly did not try to stop her son or protect the woman. A case has been filed under section 354 (b), 323, 506 r/w 34, (outraging modesty, criminal assault and intimidation, and criminal intent towards a common cause) affixing blame on the mother too for failing to stop her son.
The police have arrested the man and sent him to jail. They have appealed to residents to report any anti-social activities by anyone in the area, so they can take appropriate action, the report added.
