BENGALURU: Two of the six people arrested in the Bengaluru rape and assault case were shot in the leg Friday when they allegedly tried to escape from the crime scene.
Around 5 am today, the police had taken the accused to the spot for reconstructing the crime scene when two of the accused allegedly tried to flee and police had to open fire, DCP (Bengaluru East) Shranappa S D said. The injured accused have been hospitalised.
The six accused, including two women, were arrested yesterday after a video of a woman being brutally assaulted started circulating on social media. The incident reportedly took place in Bengaluru almost six days ago.
Two of the Bangladeshis arrested in India on charges of raping and assaulting a woman were shot in the leg during what Indian officials said was their attempt to flee yesterday. Around 5:00am local time, police took four of the five Bangladeshi arrestees to the crime scene in K Channasandra, Bengaluru, to "reconstruct the sequence of events relating to the crime", reports our
The initiative began last year when the number of cases reached a peak.
“We had a meeting at church and a decision was made to form a committee. I was asked to help out. I was very happy as I was just sitting at home, attending online classes and confused about the way forward,” Akshaya says.
A Google form was circulated, which volunteers could use to sign up. Depending on different age groups, volunteers were segregated for different tasks. There are four helpline numbers for Bengaluru East, West, North, and South to take calls for help.
After the documentation is done (Aadhaar card details, death certificate, COVID-positive certificate), as a coordinator, Akshaya calls the family member to ask what they require. Those who cannot afford a coffin are sent one.
