Bengaluru: Despite embracing change, knowledge and modern technology better than most of the metros, Bengaluru has been declared the third most unsafe city in the country for women, by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data.

After reports of two rape cases and one murder case of a woman in the last four days, the city police have taken up a case of sexual harassment against an unidentified person for allegedly demanding sexual favours from a woman here.

According to sources, the woman, a resident of an apartment near Konanakunte police station limits, woke up to the ringing doorbell and was surprised to find no one outside. However she found a letter dropped at her doorstep which contained lewd remarks.

“I can pay you Rs 50,000 if you are willing to give me a service. Please meet me at the apartment's basement," the letter allegedly stated.

The woman immediately met the Apartment Association members and later filed a complaint at the jurisdictional police station. Police told News Trail that the case is under investigation and the cops are trying to identify the accused.
