The accused Sunil had been stalking and harassing the woman for months, and on Saturday, she decided to confront him.
“You think you can take things lightly? Do you think you can harass women and get away with it?” shouts a woman, dragging a man by his collar and beating him with her slippers. A video of this woman thrashing a man in public in Bengaluru has gone viral on social media. In the video, the woman can be heard accusing the man of stalking her and sexually harassing her for months. The incident took place on Saturday morning near Yellamma Temple Street in Ramamurthy Nagar. The woman, who has now filed a complaint with the Ramamurthy Nagar police, said that the man – 31-year-old Sunil, an employee of Big Bazaar – had been stalking her for months. The two became friends on social media earlier this year and had also met. In May this year, Sunil allegedly began harassing her, demanding that she enter into a relationship with him. On May 18, Sunil gave her a drink that was allegedly spiked with drugs and took her to a hotel room, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her and had captured the incident on camera. “Since then, he would follow her to work and back home. Once, he followed her home in May after the incident and showed her the video. He told her that he would upload the video on social media if she did not listen to his demands. The woman threatened to file a complaint with the police and told him to delete the video,” the Ramamurthy Nagar police said. However, for months, Sunil allegedly continued to stalk her and even harassed her at her workplace, the woman has stated in her complaint to the police. On Saturday morning, the woman was walking home from the store, when she noticed that Sunil was following her. He allegedly followed her into her house and threatened to show the video to her family members. Angered by and fed up with his threats, the woman dragged Sunil out on the road and began to beat him with her slippers. When her neighbours gathered to ask what happened, she informed them about the harassment and stalking. “Then the locals also beat him up and caught hold of him until we got to the spot. The woman filed a complaint and an FIR was registered under Sections 354 (using criminal force against a woman, 354A (sexual harassment), 354D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC,” the police added. Sunil was arrested by the Ramamurthy Nagar Police and will be produced before a local court on Monday.
