BENGALURU: A 40-year-old woman arrested in a rape and robbery case allegedly attempted suicide by overdosing on BP tablets at Siddapura police station on Monday evening.
Kamakshi aka Gondamma, a vegetable vendor and resident of Hombegowdanagar, is stable and out of danger, police said, quoting doctors treating her at Jayanagar government hospital.
Police said Kamakshi’s husband Kumar allegedly sexually harassed a 24-year-old homemaker near his residence. The woman was breast-feeding her oneyear-old daughter around 1.30pm on Sunday in her house. Kumar is said to have barged in and pulled the baby. He also touched her inappropriately and tore her clothes. Kamakshi arrived at the the spot and abused the woman, who managed to escape.
“The woman alleged that Kumar also took her purse containing Rs 5,400. We registered a case of rape, robbery and criminal intimidation against Kumar and Kamakshi and arrested them on Monday,” a police officer said.
Meanwhile, Kamaskhi filed a counter-complaint against the woman’s relatives alleging they had molested her. Police detained Kamakshi around 1.30pm on Monday and completed the arrest procedures.
Out of danger
“She requested for blood pressure medicines and informed us that she had the tablets in her bag. Constable Savitha gave her the bag to take the tablets. Kamakshi immediately swallowed at least eight of them. We rushed her a hospital in Jayanagar. She is said to be out of danger and will be under medical observation for three days,” Gopal, a head constable attached with Siddapura police station, said.
