A single incident caught by CCTV camera showed a young woman walking home was approached by two men on a scooter. One of the men disembarked and attacked her and pushed her to the waiting vehicle with the woman struggling to free herself.
For minutes, the attacker molested the woman and then threw her hard to the ground.
The police said on Wednesday that they had filed a case suo moto and launched an investigation to identify the criminals.
