Woman alleges person flashed at her

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: In a social media post, a Bengaluru-based woman narrated her ordeal of a man allegedly flashing at her and making lewd gestures while she was sitting inside a car near a business park, forcing her to hide underneath the steering wheel.

In her post, the victim appealed to the jurisdictional Mahadevapura police to initiate action on the incident which occurred on January 5, but came to light only after she reported it on Tuesday.

"I experienced a deeply unsettling incident opposite Bagmane Constellation Business Park, Mahadevapura at around 8:40 pm. While waiting in a parking lot on the service road, I encountered a man exhibiting disturbing and inappropriate behaviour. He engaged in indecent exposure and explicit acts, including masturbation, while staring at me," she alleged.

"Feeling threatened, I locked myself in my car but was unable to leave due to another car blocking my exit. The situation escalated as the man circled my car multiple times, even approaching my driver’s side window and gesturing threateningly towards me. I hid under the steering wheel, hoping to avoid his attention," her post further read.
