What happened to Divya Suresh in Bengaluru?
This particular incident happened on June 28, 2026, around 11:30 P.M. when Divya Suresh and her cousin were walking towards the area of their parked vehicle. A male who has not yet been named began to follow them, making obscene gestures with obscene language, while masturbating. Even after being yelled at by the ladies, he did not leave and threatened them.
The girls got into the car and locked themselves inside for safety from the criminal, fearing for their lives. But the man did not give up but kept behaving like that just outside the window of their car till a person on a two-wheeler came along and stopped him. The girl recorded part of the episode on her mobile and uploaded it to her Instagram stories.
“Tonight, my cousin and I were walking to our car at around 11.30 pm when a man started following us. While following us, he was openly touching himself. We noticed it immediately and called him out, but he still didn’t stop. He continued until we got into our car. Where is the safety we keep being promised?”
