Bengaluru: Peenya police have arrested three men for allegedly tying up and assaulting a woman before stealing cash and gold jewellery from her at a rented house in Nagasandra.
The accused have been identified as Boregowda, Abhi and Satish. Police said Boregowda allegedly invited Sujatha, a woman from Nagamangala, to the house on the pretext of attending a milk-boiling ceremony.
According to police, Sujatha had known Boregowda for several months. He allegedly told her that he had rented a house in Nagasandra and asked her to attend the ceremony.
Sujatha reportedly went to the house without informing her husband, Varadaraju. Police said she was carrying Rs 1 lakh in cash and wearing a gold mangalsutra at the time.
Woman allegedly assaulted and robbed
According to the complaint, milk was initially placed on the stove as part of the purported ceremony. Boregowda and the other accused allegedly then attacked Sujatha, restrained her by tying her hands and legs and assaulted her.
The men allegedly took the Rs 1 lakh cash and gold mangalsutra before leaving the house.
Varadaraju later approached Peenya police and filed a complaint after learning about the alleged assault and robbery. Police registered a case and began investigating the incident.
Following the investigation, police arrested Boregowda, who has been identified as the alleged main accused, along with Abhi and Satish.
The three accused were produced before a court and subsequently remanded to judicial custody.
Police are continuing their investigation into the alleged robbery and assault and are examining the circumstances surrounding Sujatha's visit to the rented house.
