News Nation Bureau 03 January 2017, 02:32 PM
New Year revelry turned into a nightmare for several women who were allegedly molested despite huge police presence at a large gathering in city’s downtown region. The incident drew widespread outrage even as the state Home minister stoked a controversy by blaming the youngsters’ “western ways†for the incidents. National Commission for Women chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam came down heavily on the police and slammed home minister G Parameshwara’s remarks, demanding that he should resign. The NCW as well as the Karnataka State Commission for Women also sought separate reports from administration and police over the incidents.
