The police said the victim had earlier told her parents about Kumar’s harassment. They had filed a complaint with the Jalahalli police.

On May 12 at around 4:30 pm, while the victim was returning from work in a cab, Kumar forced the cab driver to stop.

He then entered into the vehicle and sat beside the victim. He demanded that she accept his proposal. When she refused, he slashed her cheek with a knife and punched her in the stomach before fleeing.

The driver of the cab rushed the victim to a private hospital where she underwent treatment. Later she filed a complaint with the Kodigehalli police, who formed teams to nab Kumar.

However on Friday Kumar surrendered before  Yashvanthpur police. They have booked him for assault with a deadly weapon, sexual harassment and criminal intimidation. He was later remanded in judicial custody.
