Four Arrested in Bengaluru for Assault and Robbery Linked to Dating App MeetingPreviousNext

In Bengaluru's Electronics City, police arrested four men—Rishiraj Singh, Vamshi, Venkatesh, and Darshan—for allegedly assaulting and robbing a man they lured via a dating app. The victim shared his location with an unknown contact and agreed to meet, after which he was taken to an isolated area, threatened with a knife, assaulted, and robbed of his mobile phone and Rs 30,000-37,000 through UPI and ATM transactions. Police recovered a two-wheeler and mobile phone used in the crime, and the accused confessed during interrogation.
