“Security will be provided to the woman as sought by her once we identify her and her location,” Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant told IANS here.

Bommai said: “I have ordered the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which has been set up to investigate the CD case, to provide security to the unidentified woman who made the appeal to me in the video clip.” The woman, however, did not disclose in the video her name or whereabouts though the police suspect she resides in the city only.
