Girl sexually assaulted by auto driver

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: A young girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by an autorickshaw driver on Saturday night in the HSR Layout area. The assault occurred in a neighbourhood known for its tech-savvy residents and bustling business environment.

The victim, who remains unidentified, was travelling alone when the incident took place. Preliminary reports suggest the driver exploited the situation, committing the assault in an area typically considered safe and secure at night.

HSR Layout, often called India’s Silicon Valley, is noted for its well-developed infrastructure and heavy police presence. Despite this, the assault has heightened concerns about the safety of women in public transport, particularly in autorickshaws.

Local authorities have promptly initiated an investigation to capture the suspect and are gathering evidence to build a solid case. The police are seeking public assistance and urging residents to stay vigilant.
