Bengaluru, Jan 2 (IBNS): New year's eve turned out to be nightmare for Bengaluru women after several of them were allegedly molested and heckled on the famous MG Road in the city, media reports said.

The shameful incident was revealed after a photojournalist from the newspaper Bangalore Mirror alleged that he had seen several distraught women approached police women and complaint of molestation.

According to reports, hooligans had molested them and made lewd remarks during the New Year's celebrations on Dec 31.

Reacting to such allegations, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara noted that Bengaluru is safe.

He told media persons that there were enough security measures taken for women and children.

Parmeshwara claimed that there were some 1500 police personnel posted across the city and more than 25 CCTV cameras are installed in that area.

He asserted that he will examine the footage.
