Hyderabad man, having mother by his side, strips a young woman on road
Hyderabad/IBNS: Accompanied by his mother, a man stripped a young woman on a road in Hyderabad's Jawahar Nagar area Tuesday.
The incident was captured on a security camera and the footage has found its way to social media, enraging citizens.
The woman was reportedly returning from a clothes store nearby at around 8 pm on Sunday when the man touched her inappropriately.
As she raised an objection and confronted him, the man turned aggressive and stripped her right on the road, tearing her clothes.
Another woman, who was passing by on a 2-wheeler, stopped and tried to stop the man, and he turned his aggression towards her.
In the meantime, the police reached the spot, overpowered the man, and took him into custody.
The woman was reportedly naked for some time on the road before she was covered with a blue plastic sheet by some women and got help.
According to reports, the mother of the man did not try to stop her son or protect the woman.
A case has been filed under section 354 (b), 323, 506 r/w 34, (outraging modesty, criminal assault and intimidation, and criminal intent towards a common cause) affixing blame on the mother too for failing to stop her son.
