The uploader had stated the incident had taken place at the famous Lulu Mall. “Recorded this incident today evening around 6.30 p.m. in Lulu Mall Funtura Bengaluru. This man in the video was doing such a thing to the random women and girls around here.
“First when I saw him in a very crowded area, I felt suspicious about him and followed him recording the video. Then I got this. Went to security and complained about this, then we came in search of him but we missed. So informed the mall management and security, they said they’ll try to find that person and take action. Shame on such people,” the whistleblower stated.
The jurisdictional Magadi Road police have taken the video and started the preliminary probe.
Earlier, a Bengaluru woman had lodged a complaint against a Rapido bike taxi driver, alleging that he engaged in inappropriate behaviour during her ride, which included indecent messages and a disturbing incident involving self-gratification. Sharing her distressing experience on the micro-blogging platform ‘X’, she recounted how the driver began such masturbating while they were en route, despite her requests to halt the ride.
