A watchman of a private city school was arrested here on Thursday on the charge of sexually harassing a minor girl in the institution premises.
The Golden Rock All Women Police arrested P. David (55) – the watchman – on a complaint lodged by the mother of the minor girl.
Police sources said the girl, who was a fourth standard student, refused to go to school.
After her mother tried to find out the reason from her daughter, the minor girl reportedly told her about the act alleged to have been committed by the watchman in the classroom when she was alone on Wednesday afternoon.
The girl’s mother lodged a complaint with the Golden Rock All Women Police on Thursday.
Acting on the complaint, the police arrested David and booked a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and got him remanded.
