Bengaluru: A 32-year-old MBA graduate was on Sunday arrested for allegedly molesting a woman at an IT park in the city. Srikanth Reddy, a resident of Devarabeesanahalli, had been evading police.
Reddy, who works at a private firm, is suspected to have molested other women previously.
Deputy commissioner of police (Whitefield) Shivakumar Gunare said a special team caught him and further investigation is under way.
Reddy allegedly molested a 23-year-old woman employed at a private firm at 11.40pm on April 30. The woman was walking along the roadside when Reddy, riding a two-wheeler, struck her back. She initially assumed it was an accidental collision during reckless riding. But he returned and struck her more forcefully. Despite raising an alarm, she reportedly received no assistance from people. She noticed Reddy making a U-turn, apparently intending to target her a third time. She sought refuge at a security booth and registered a police complaint on May 1.
