COMPAINT FILED AGAINST VEERENDRA & HIS FRIENDS

This continued when the accused summoned the woman once more on July 30, this time allegedly involving his friends as well. The victim states that she was forcibly relieved of her gold jewellery during this encounter.

The complaint has led to swift legal action, with the Kodigehalli police station registering a First Information Report (FIR) against Veerendra Babu and his associates. The ongoing investigation aims to uncover the full extent of the alleged criminal activities and to ensure justice for the victim.
