Bengaluru: The sixth and the final accused was arrested on Monday in connection with the alleged molestation of a woman by two scooter-borne men near her home in Bengaluru on New Year's eve, an incident that was caught on camera causing national outrage.
The missing accused in the Kammanahalli molestation case George alias Pappi, an electrician, was caught at Anekal as he tried to return to the city, police said.

The woman was allegedly groped and assaulted by the two scooter-borne men on New Year at Kammanahalli.
According to police, it was a "plan" prepared by the six accused with four being accomplices.
