Bengaluru: Engineer robbed at knifepoint in PG accommodation
Bengaluru, Aug 13 (PTI): A 30-year-old assistant engineer with BESCOM was allegedly robbed at knifepoint by an unidentified man inside her paying guest accommodation in Judicial Layout, police said.
According to a complaint with Yelahanka police, the woman, who had been staying at the address for about 15 days, returned from work at around 3 pm on August 11 when an unknown man knocked on her door. Believing it to be another occupant, she opened it.
The man allegedly pressed a knife to her neck, demanded her gold bangle, and "molested" her while "threatening to harm" her if she resisted. When she struggled to remove the bangle, he demanded cash, police added.
She told him to take money from her vanity bag on the bed. While he was distracted, she ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and raised an alarm. The accused allegedly fled with her two mobile phones.
Police said a probe is underway to identify the accused and recover the stolen items.

The 2026 Assembly election, he said, carried a new environment that had never seen before.
