Bengaluru, Oct 17
In a shocking incident, an engineering student was allegedly raped on the premises of her college within the limits of Hanumanthanagar police station in Bengaluru.
According to the police, the accused and the victim were friends studying in the same college. The accused was a classmate and became junior to the victim by one year after failing the exam.
Since the accused was well known to her, the victim did not suspect foul play and unsuspectingly went to the sixth floor with him. Further details are yet to emerge, and the investigation is ongoing. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of students.
He has stated that in just 4 months, 979 sexual assault cases against girls have been reported in the state. In Bengaluru alone, more than 114 cases have taken place. "Our women and children are living in fear," he said.
