A pregnant woman constable attached to the Railway Police was allegedly assaulted on her head with an iron rod by a man at the KSR Railway Station in Bengaluru early Wednesday morning. Railway Police subsequently arrested the accused in connection with the attack.

The injured constable has been identified as Shilpa, who is two months pregnant and posted at the KSR Railway Police Station. The accused, identified as 28-year-old Gajendra, is a mason hailing from Chennai.

The incident occurred around 5:00 am on Wednesday at the Railway Police check-post located inside the KSR Railway Station premises. Gajendra, who had reportedly lost his mobile phone at the station, approached the check-post to register a complaint regarding the missing device.
