The incident was caught on camera. The Bengaluru police is investigating the incident.

A Bengaluru-based social media influencer has alleged that she was molested by a 10-year-old boy while she was on her way back from work on Tuesday night. The influencer, Neha Biswal, narrated the whole incident in a video. She claimed that she was walking down a street at BTM Layout and was recording a video when a boy riding a bicycle came from the opposite direction and touched her inappropriately. The incident was caught on camera. The Bengaluru police is investigating the incident. 

Ms Biwal, who lives in a paying guest facility in the area, said that she was traumatised. "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 towards me," Ms Biswal said in the clip. "He first teased me and mimicked how I was talking on camera and then molested me," she continued. 

The influencer said the boy tried to escape but was caught by the locals when she raised an alarm. However, she stated that many bystanders chose to empathise with the boy and asked her to spare him because he was a "kid and must have done that unintentionally".
