A day after Bengaluru police had filed an FIR after finding “credible” evidence of molestation during New Year’s eve celebrations, six individuals were arrested on Wednesday, BBC News reported.

The night of 31 December turned into a nightmare for several women who were allegedly molested at a large gathering in city's downtown area.

The arrests were made after various CCTV clips of women be attacked by men were posted online.

As the incidents drew widespread outrage with no action from the police, Bengaluru's new Commissioner of Police, Praveen Sood through a series of tweets on Tuesday, said his team was working on the case silently.

Stating that enquiry is underway by an officer of DCP rank, he has said that they have gone through the feeds from 45 cameras on MG road, and unedited video is available with police.

Eyewitness accounts had suggested that women were molested and lewd remarks were also passed by miscreants late night on 31 December in the posh area even as it was claimed that 1,500 police personnel had been deployed to control the crowds.

Police had earlier said that no one had come forward to file a complaint about the incident.
