Bengaluru: College student alleges gangrape at private villa, two booked
Bengaluru (PTI): A case of gangrape has been registered against two men after a 19-year-old college student alleged that they sexually assaulted her after forcibly administering her a tablet, police said on Monday.
She claimed that the incident occurred at a private villa here on February 15, but that she did not approach the police earlier out of fear, they said.
A day before the woman approached Amruthahalli police station with her complaint on February 22, a case was registered against her at the Malleshwaram police station following a complaint by the two accused.
They alleged that she, along with a male acquaintance, was attempting to extort Rs 10 lakh from them on the pretext of certain video clips, a senior police officer said.
“Based on the statement of the student in our case, we have registered a case under Sections 64 (rape), 70(1) (gangrape), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. We are investigating the case based on the allegations levelled by both parties, following which appropriate action will be taken,” he said.
According to the complaint lodged at Amruthahalli Police Station, the woman, who is pursuing her first-year degree at a city college, stated that she became acquainted with one of the accused through Instagram in January 2026. The two had met a couple of times at a café in Koramangala and were in regular contact over phone and social media.
On February 14, after attending college, she went out for dinner with a friend. Later that night, the accused allegedly asked her to come to a villa in Jakkur for a party. She reached the villa around 1.15 am along with her friend, where the accused and another man were present, the FIR said.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that the two men forcibly put a pink-coloured tablet into her mouth. Within minutes, she felt dizzy, experienced sweating and blurred vision, and lost consciousness.
She further alleged that when she regained partial consciousness inside a room, one of the men was touching her inappropriately. Both men then allegedly sexually assaulted her against her will despite her resistance, the FIR stated.
The woman also alleged that the accused later locked her inside the room and, the next day, dropped her near a mall while threatening her with dire consequences if she disclosed the incident to anyone or approached the police.
Police said the complainant sought medical treatment at a city hospital on February 17. After informing her brother, who encouraged her to approach the police, she lodged a complaint with a delay, citing fear due to the alleged threats.
Further investigation is underway, police said.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
