Bengaluru Lecturers, Friend Arrested for Repeated Sexual Assault of College Student.
Two lecturers at a private college in Bengaluru and their friend have been arrested for allegedly raping a college student on multiple occasions and blackmailing her. The accused — identified as Narendra (Physics lecturer), Sandeep (Biology lecturer), and Anoop (a friend not affiliated with the college) — were taken into custody after the student filed a police complaint detailing sustained sexual abuse, coercion, and threats.
According to the FIR, the abuse began when Narendra befriended the student under the pretext of helping with academic materials. He gradually gained her trust through constant messaging, before calling her to Anoop’s residence. There, he allegedly raped her and threatened her with consequences if she disclosed the incident.
Days later, Sandeep is said to have approached the student and, upon facing resistance, blackmailed her by claiming he had photos and videos of her with Narendra. He then allegedly assaulted her at the same residence. Anoop, too, reportedly threatened the student with CCTV footage of her visit and sexually assaulted her.
The survivor eventually informed her parents during their visit to Bengaluru. The family contacted the Karnataka State Women’s Commission and filed a formal complaint at the Marathahalli Police Station. All three men have been arrested and presented before a magistrate. Further investigation is underway.
