Sharing her ordeal in a video, she claimed that a boy riding a bicycle came from the other direction and fled after touching her inappropriately. The influencer, Neha Biswal, was filming a video on her way back from work. This shocking incident was captured on camera.

Here's What She Said:

She said, "This has never happened to me. I feel really bad. I was making a video while walking, this boy was initially riding in the same direction then he saw me, made a U-turn, and began to come toward me."

She added, "He first teased me and mimicked how I was talking on camera and then molested me."

The influencer went on to say that the boy was caught by locals and many people asked her to pardon the boy as he was a child.

"I Hit Him..."

"Only after I played the video clearly showing what he had done did people believe me," she said. "So many people were asking me to let him go because he was a child, but I did not stop. I hit him. There were a few people who supported me and beat him up, but to be honest, I don't feel safe here," she mentioned

"I did not file an FIR because a child is involved and I don't want to ruin his future but I do want him to be caught and be given some kind of a warning," she said, adding that the Bengaluru Police had been quite helpful to her. "They did not make me feel like I am not a local, but I am still mentally disturbed by what had happened," she concluded.

As per the reports in Moneycontrol, DCP South Sarah Fatima said that they have taken the accused into custody and are looking into the matter.
