Bengaluru, April 16 (NationPress) In a deeply disturbing incident, a young man exposed his private parts to a homemaker, and when she confronted him, he assaulted seven individuals, including her husband, according to police reports on Wednesday.

A formal complaint has been lodged at Shivajinagar police station, and authorities have initiated a search for the suspect, who escaped following the incident.
Police have identified the accused as Karthik.
It is alleged that he unzipped his pants and flashed his private parts at the homemaker while she was on the second floor of her residence.
The accused resided in a house directly opposite the victim's home, and he made lewd gestures, suggesting he wanted to engage physically.
Shocked by his actions, the woman cried for help, alerting her husband.
Infuriated by her distress, the accused began to assault the husband. When neighbors rushed to help, he retaliated by attacking them with hollow blocks, flower pots, and windowpanes, as reported by the police.
