A Bengaluru-based Reddit user recently shared an alarming account of being groped at the security entrance of Rameshwaram Cafe in Whitefield. The woman recounted how, after she shouted and confronted the man, he denied the act and quickly fled. This incident is one of several unsettling experiences she has faced in Bengaluru, including workplace harassment and public advances, since relocating from Pune.
The post ignited strong reactions on Reddit, with many users voicing frustration over growing safety concerns for women in Bengaluru. Some urged her to file a police complaint and suggested the use of security footage if available. Others expressed sadness over the decline in women’s safety in the city, encouraging the victim to continue speaking out to rally bystanders.
In a related incident, a woman narrowly escaped a dangerous situation after taking a cab from Kempegowda International Airport. The driver, impersonating an Ola cab driver, attempted extortion, leading her to quickly contact police, who apprehended the suspect within 20 minutes. Her swift action and quick thinking in a precarious moment were key to her safety.
