Four Arrested After Bengaluru Woman Allegedly Assaulted Over Loans
Police in Bengaluru arrested four people after a woman reported being attacked during a dispute about loans.
She had borrowed money from two of the accused.
She said she could not keep paying interest and weekly instalments because she was facing financial problems.
One accused allegedly called her by promising work and money.
The woman said she was then assaulted and taken to a house near Kumbalgodu.
She alleged that she was confined, partly stripped and filmed.
The group allegedly demanded Rs 11 lakh and threatened to share the video online.
Her mother filed a missing-person complaint, and police later found and rescued her.
The investigation is still continuing.
