Amidst water shortages, traffic congestion, and drought plaguing the Silicon City, a bizarre complaint has emerged. A 44-year-old woman living in the Avalahalli area of Bengaluru has filed a complaint against her neighbours, a couple residing next door to the Girinagar police station, for what she deems as excessive flirtatious behaviour. The complaint alleges that the couple's romantic gestures, carried out with open windows and doors, have not only caused significant irritation but also led to threats of violence.

According to the complainant, the couple residing next door has been engaging in overtly flirtatious behaviour, much to the dismay of her family. The situation escalated when the couple allegedly began making threats against the woman, including rape and murder when she expressed her discomfort.
