Case Filed After Alleged Harassment of IPS Officer’s Daughter at IPL Match in Bengaluru

A case of sexual harassment has been filed at the police station near Chinnaswamy Stadium. The incident took place during the IPL fixture on May 3, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru played against Chennai Super Kings.

An IPS officer’s wife has filed a complaint against a Senior Tax Official and another person for allegedly harassing her daughter and son during the IPL match in Bengaluru. The case was registered after a complaint was lodged at the Cubbon Park Police Station, near the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The Incident

The argument started when the IPS officer’s daughter left her seat to use the restroom. She left her purse to indicate that the seat was taken. When she returned, she found a man sitting in her seat.

When her brother asked the man to move, the man refused, leading to an argument. The man was then joined by his wife, an income tax official, and his son. They had a heated verbal exchange and used abusive language, with the man arguing directly in her face.

Unable to resolve the matter, the siblings called their parents. While on the way to the stadium, the IPS officer contacted his superiors for assistance. However, when no help arrived, his wife lodged a formal complaint at the Cubbon Park Police Station.
