Caught scaling compound wall, Bengaluru man files assault complaint against residents; gets arrested for theft bid, attack

When a man and a woman from the house confronted him, a violent altercation broke out. Khan then called two associates, Razak and Shyam, for support. The police said that during the confrontation, Razak allegedly struck the male resident on the head with a beer bottle, while shards from broken glass injured the woman’s cheek. Neighbours rushed to the scene after hearing her screams, forcing the two men to flee in their autorickshaw, leaving Khan behind.

Khan alleged that an unidentified individual struck him on the head with a wooden object during the chaos, causing a bleeding injury. He later sought medical treatment and filed a complaint against the unknown assailant for intentionally causing hurt.

“When we investigated, we learnt that he had tried to steal items by jumping over the compound wall. He was intoxicated and hurt himself while climbing. We also discovered how his associates had assaulted the residents with a beer bottle, and based on this, we arrested him,” an officer said. Further investigation is underway into the case.
