BENGALURU: In a sign that police are waking up to the perils of refusing to register complaints of rape and molestation of women in the IT capital, police swiftly arrested the three men who allegedly gang-raped a 25-year-old Bhutanese national on Sunday.
The young woman, a beautician by profession registered a complaint against Mukhtiar, Khadim and Babu, employed at Biggies Hotel in Electronics City. All three are 22-years-old and hail from Assam, and work as helpers in the private hotel.
In her complaint to the police, the complainant stated that she was gang raped by the trio in an apartment building in Electronics city. She had been looking for a place to buy cigarettes after attending a common friend's birthday in Hebbugodi at around 11.30 pm when one of the accused offered to take her to a place that stayed open 24/7. From there, he invited her home.
Since she knew him and his room mates well, she did not suspect any foul play. However, the three sexually assaulted her, said police. Based on the information given by the rape victim, the Electronics City police nabbed the three men from Whitefield. Doctors confirmed sexual assault after conducting a medical examination of the woman.
