In a case of mob justice, two men were stripped and beaten with slippers in full public view on Wednesday by a mob in Bengaluru for allegedly molesting a woman.
The locals caught the two men, tore their clothes and kicked and thrashed them, as a woman, egged on by some, repeatedly beat them with slippers, the police said.
The duo who hail from Bidar in north Karnataka had allegedly molested the woman when she was alone at home on Tuesday night, the police said.
They said one of the two alleged molesters was known to the woman’s family and had a fight with her some days ago.
Both men had escaped the previous night in heavy rains, but the woman along with other locals managed to track them down, caught hold of them and handed them over to police after thrashing them.
Police said both the men have been arrested.
