Notably, the video was shot from behind by a person coming in a car. In the video, it could be seen that the woman wearing a white-coloured helmet and carrying a purse on her shoulder was riding a scooty when three men on another two-wheeler started harassing her.

According to a report by NDTV, the three men followed the woman for about two kilometres. However, the miscreants fled after the person who shot the video intervened.

They reportedly followed the woman on purpose, overtook her scooter repeatedly, and also rode recklessly in front of her.

On the social media platform X, user @abhyn0w shared the video of the incident and said, "Saw a girl being harassed by a group of guys for several kms on a main road, & this was before 10 (pm). I took a video as evidence, and intervened, and they immediately fled."

The user tagged the Bengaluru Police in his post.

In a separate post on the social media platform, the police said that the scooty and its owner had been identified and assured legal action against the three men.
