Earlier this year, an unidentified two-wheeler rider had allegedly tried to rape a college student in the city when she took a lift from him. The victim was a final-year student of a private college in Anekal and had come to a pub in Koramangala with her friends. On her way back home to Hebbagodi, she was driving her friend's car, which met with an accident near Empire Junction, the senior police official added.
She later was involved in a brawl with the auto driver, and called the police helpline. But by the time the police reached the spot, she left the spot and took a lift from the rider who tried to rape her and fled.
