The alleged molestation case of a 23-year-old in Nagawara, Bengaluru, took a shocking turn following the arrest of her brother-in-law, who told cops that he had stage-managed the incident.
According to a report in Times of India, Irshad Khan, a 34-year-old sales executive, gave a statement to the police in which he revealed that he was in a relationship with his sister-in-law, and actually wanted to marry her. But, since his wife and family members would have obviously protested, he came up with this plan to get his sister-in-law tainted as a victim of sexual assault.

The man hoped that following the incident, no one would marry her, and the path would be clear for him. Apparently, this idea was stumbled upon after Khan saw the CCTV footage of the Kammanahalli molestation case. There is speculation that the woman too could be privy to the plan.
