Bihar labourer raped by two men in Bengaluru
A 19-year-old labourer from Bihar was raped by two men in Bengaluru on Wednesday, police said.
The incident occurred near KR Puram Railway Station early in the morning, police added, according to PTI.
One of the accused, identified as Ashif, has been arrested, while the other suspect remains at large, they said.
Police stated that the survivor had been working in Kerala's Kattappan town but decided to return home as she was unhappy with the job.
She took a ticket to Mangaluru but used the same ticket to reach Bengaluru.
After informing their cousin in the city, the survivor arrived at KR Puram railway station around 1.13 am, police said.
Accompanied by her cousin, she was walking towards Mahadevapura to get food when two unidentified men stopped them.
The assailants allegedly attacked the survivor's cousin and restrained him, while one of them dragged her to a secluded area and sexually assaulted her, police said.
Hearing her cries for help, some passersby rushed to the spot, forcing the attackers to flee. However, the public managed to catch one of the suspects, Ashif, and handed him over to the police.
As per PTI, a case has been registered against both accused. Efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the second accused.
