A CCTV footage from Bengaluru showing a woman being groped by the rider of a motorcycle has again brought into focus the lack of women’s safety in what was once considered one of the safest cities in India for women.

The video footage, recorded in the evening in the Vijaynagar area in western Bengaluru, shows two women walking along a badly lit, deserted lane. Suddenly a scooter comes from behind and as it drives the past, the pillion rider stretches out his hand to grope the nearest woman.

The video is doing the rounds on social media and while no complaint has been filed, the police say they are on the lookout for the culprits. “We are actively looking for victims and also who has uploaded the video. Only then can we ascertain if it’s a case of molestation or an attempt to rob,” said senior police officer MN Anucheth.

Bengaluru had made headlines across the nation in January this year when mass molestation was reported on New Year’s eve. Women, who had gathered at MG Road and Brigade Road to celebrate New Year, were molested. From then many such cases coming into the limelight. Multiple incidents of brazen molestation have been reported from Bengaluru over the last few months.
