In the wake of the horror of Bengaluru mass-molestation, where it has been reported that women who came out to celebrate New Year were groped and molested by miscreants, Dr. Abhishek Singhvi, Member of Parliament, took to Twitter and expressed his concern over the issue. He tweeted saying that such an incident of molestation is a “blot” on the society and urgent steps are needed to curb such a menace. The Congress leader also pointed out that such incidents should be an eye opener for the authorities.

Meanwhile, the state government and police have been criticised for not being able to maintain law and order despite 1500 personnel being deployed in the city on the day. More reports of such crimes are now coming to the surface – for instance, a woman was allegedly molested on New Year’s day as four persons assaulted in the eastern Kammanahalli area.
