Bengaluru, July 15, 2025: The country is still reeling from the shock of the Balasore incident, where a female student from the FM college died after she self-immolated after no action was taken against the professor who allegedly harassed her. Another disturbing incident has now emerged from a college in Moodabidri where three people have been arrested in connection with the alleged rape of a college student, including two lecturers.

In Bengaluru, three individuals from a reputed institution in Moodabidri, including two lecturers, have been apprehended on accusations of repeatedly raping a female student. The Marathahalli police made the arrests following a complaint filed by the victim with the Women’s Commission, which subsequently directed her to the police.

The accused are identified as Narendra, a Physics lecturer, Sandeep, a Biology lecturer, and Anoop, a friend of the lecturers.

According to the complaint, Narendra initially contacted the student under the guise of providing academic notes and assistance. He gradually developed a rapport through chatting, eventually taking her to his friend Anoop’s room in Marathahalli, Bengaluru, where he allegedly raped her and threatened her to keep silent about the incident.

A few days later, Sandeep, the Biology lecturer, allegedly attempted to assault the student as well. When she resisted, he reportedly blackmailed her, claiming he had photos and videos of her with Narendra. Fearing the consequences, the victim was allegedly raped by Sandeep too.

The room where the assault allegedly occurred belonged to Anoop.

Subsequently, Anoop allegedly contacted the student, threatening her by claiming he had CCTV footage. He then also allegedly raped her.

Following these traumatic events, the student confided in her parents, who approached the Women’s Commission. This led to the registration of a case at the Marathahalli police station and the subsequent arrests.
