Overview
- The woman says a man touched her inappropriately on a Namma Metro train on December 23, and she confronted and slapped him on the train and again on the Majestic platform.
- Metro security intervened and escorted both to an office at the station before the woman went to Upparpet Police Station to lodge a complaint.
- Police registered a non-cognisable report for indecent behaviour and sexual harassment and opened an inquiry that includes reviewing Metro CCTV footage.
- Officers say the accused is a 45-year-old man and that next steps will follow the investigation’s findings.
- The woman later posted a video alleging police showed sympathy because of the man’s age and intoxication, while police countered that she declined a formal complaint after family advice and that the man’s details were recorded.
