A woman was allegedly sexually assaulted in the early hours of Sunday by an unknown biker whom she had hitchhiked, a senior police officer said.

“A man from whom she had taken a ‘lift’ made a criminal assault and raped her. We have registered a rape case and started an investigation,” Mr Gupta told reporters here.

He said prima facie it appeared she had gone for a get-together in Koramangala.

“There is only one suspect. The man who gave her a lift is suspected to be the rapist and our investigations are on,” the officer said.
