I told them to stop doing it following which they started troubling me. In the meantime, I also informed my uncle and he caught hold of the accused,” said the girl in her complaint.
A case under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 34 (common intention) was registered against the duo.
