A woman was sexually harassed by a man who entered her house to install a water purifier in Bengaluru. A case was registered with the Begur police and the accused has been arrested.
According to a TOI report, on May 4, the 30-year-old victim residing in Begur raised a service request for the reinstallation of the water purifier at her home. When the technician did not show up she called up the service provider the next day and raised another complaint.
A technician turned up at her door at 5:00 PM and the woman, who was alone in the house at the time, opened the door and explained to him the issue with the water purifier.
The technician asked her to turn off the main switch so that he could reinstall the water purifier.
He then started touching her inappropriately and groped her while she was working in the kitchen. The woman pushed him out of the kitchen, locked herself in and dialled a friend nearby for help.
Her friend arrived, to see the man attacking her from outside the kitchen. The attacker, however, fled after both of them confronted him. He was also said to have sustained slight injuries.
Later, the woman reached out to the police and filed a case against the accused. The police received the technician’s details from the company, but when they called, the accused did not respond.
On Wednesday, the accused was traced, and an investigation into the case is underway.
