Three minor girls were "attacked" by eve-teasers in Kolar district here for confronting them and complaining to their parents about the incident.

The police official said the girls were attacked while they were travelling in a bus by Babu and a few of his family members and friends in the Srinivasapur area in Kolar.

The girls alleged they were dragged from the bus and attacked by Babu and his family members and friends who belong to Kondamari village.
