Asked if I was gay, hit on head when I didn't respond: B'luru man assaulted in restaurant washroom
Bengaluru: A 23-year-old executive from a private company was allegedly assaulted by an individual at a restaurant in Bengaluru’s Ashoknagar following a minor disagreement.
The man, a resident of Cox Town, alleged that he was assaulted by an unknown person in the restaurant's washroom around 11:00 PM last week, as reported by Deccan Herald on Saturday.
He visited the restaurant with two friends and went to the washroom after the meal.
The man told the police that an unknown individual asked him if he was gay, but he chose not to respond, as mentioned by DH. “He kept asking me. He asked me again when I was heading out and hit me on my head when I didn’t answer,” the man said.
His friend contacted the police helpline, but by the time they arrived, the suspect had already fled, as per the FIR filed with the Cubbon Park police.
The police are currently searching for the individual responsible for the alleged assault. An FIR has been lodged under BNS sections 126(2) (wrongful restraint) and 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt).
