Man in Bengaluru complains of sexual assault; police suspect authenticity of allegation
Bengaluru: A 29-year-old man, who is living as a paying guest (PG) in Doddathoguru in Electronics City for several months, has filed a police complaint alleging that he was sexually assaulted recently while sleeping and woke up with pain in his private parts.
A private hospital also alerted the Electronics City Police of a medico-legal case related to the complainant, who was under treatment at the hospital. An assistant sub-inspector visited the hospital and recorded the man’s statement, according to Times of India.
The complainant, reportedly a native of Bihar, told the officer that he had locked his room while going to bed on April 17 but woke up the next morning with pain in his chest and anus along with ink marks on his hands. Although he suspected that a person had opened the door by removing a screw of the lock and sexually assaulted him, the complainant failed to name a specific person as suspect. He added that he had changed rooms after experiencing sexual targeting by unidentified individuals.
The police registered a case under various sections of the BNS. The probe, however, led them to find that the complainant was an accused in an attempted murder case in 2024, when he had allegedly stabbed a roommate after a fight over a trivial issue. The case is reportedly under trial.
Further, the police have said that the doctors who examined him said that he had not been sexually assaulted. The complainant alleged that the doctors had failed to give a proper report and asked for a second opinion. The doctor who examined him again too ruled out sexual abuse and referred him for psychiatric evaluation at Nimhans Hospital.
The police have alleged that the complainant had not been cooperating with the investigation by repeatedly skipping appointments with the psychiatrist. A senior police officer has opined that the complainant might be attempting to blame the roommate he had assaulted earlier, although the probe is yet to come to a logical conclusion.
The complainant’s family has reportedly told the police that he had a history of mental health issues and had undergone treatment before moving to Bengaluru for work.
City Police Commissioner B Dayananda directed officials in a crime review meeting to take action against those found to be filing false complaints.
