Madan lives with his parents and a younger sister. A bachelor, Madan once worked for a private firm but left the job after doctors diagnosed him with anxiety and depression, his family told police. One of the victims, a 41-year-old homemaker, filed a police complaint, stating she came to Milton Park with her child and a friend on June 6 evening. "We were walking inside the park while my child was playing. Suddenly, a stranger appeared and blocked my way. His stares told me all was not well, and I sneaked behind a tree. But he followed and said, 'Come, I am single... hug me', then he kissed me. Shocked, I screamed and ran to a safe place where more people were present," the victim narrated in her complaint, adding the stranger repeated the act after attacking another woman who was walking on Milton Street. The distance was around 100 metres between the two places, recalled the victim. By then, the victim called her husband, who reached the spot quickly. Further, the victim said the miscreant told her no one could do anything to him. "Go and complain to police too, I am not bothered. I don't fear anyone," he shouted in Kannada. "The stranger blocked a 28-year-old woman, groped her, and kissed her. This time, the victim's lips were injured. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As she raised an alarm, the stranger ran away. By then, someone had called the police control room by dialling 112, and two patrolling police vehicles, Hoysala, reached the place. After taking initial details, they asked us to file a complaint at Pulakeshinagar police station," she said. After registering a case, Pulakeshinagar police collected CCTV footage and reached Madan's Banasawadi residence. "That day, he came in a BMTC bus. While returning, he boarded another bus, and this made our job easier to trace him. But he troubled the police at the station a lot. For no reason, he would shout, abuse, and attack our staffers," a senior police officer said.
