Pregnant Bengaluru Police Constable Attacked with Iron Rod at Railway Station
A pregnant woman police constable named Shilpa was attacked with an iron rod inside Bengaluru's Majestic Railway Police Station early on August 26. The accused, Gajendra, initially came to file a complaint about a lost mobile phone but was asked to return later as no other staff were present. He returned shortly after and struck Shilpa multiple times on the head, causing serious injuries. She is receiving medical treatment, and the accused has been arrested. Shilpa's family alleges negligence in duty assignments, claiming she was assigned night duty despite pregnancy-related requests.
