Bengaluru, Feb 21 (NationPress) A disturbing incident has come to light involving a woman who was gang-raped by four acquaintances at a private hotel in Bengaluru.

The woman is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital. Police have already visited the scene of the crime and collected relevant information, including CCTV footage from neighboring buildings.

This occurrence follows a similar case where a woman was gang-raped and robbed of her jewellery, cash, and mobile phone at Bengaluru's K.R. Market on January 21.
In that case, the victim reported the incident to the Women's Police Station in the Central Division, according to officials.
Authorities have detained one individual linked to that incident for questioning.
The victim had been waiting for a bus to Yelahanka when she approached the accused for information about the bus's availability. The suspects, masquerading as helpful bystanders, misled her into accompanying them, leading to the crime.
In another alarming case, on April 25, 2024, a 23-year-old woman was kidnapped and gang-raped by five assailants in a desolate area. The victim endured severe abuse. Following a complaint from her family, the High Grounds police arrested the perpetrators.
