Two persons have been arrested for making obscene gestures to a senior Punjab government woman official on Delhi-Chandigarh Road in Haryana's Panipat on Wednesday.

The official was on her way to Chandigarh from Delhi along with her son and was also accompanied by her security personnel in a separate vehicle.

Panipat Superintendent of Police Sumit Kumar told The Hindu over phone that the accused were identified as Gurvinder and Love Deep, both residents of Panipat.

Mr. Kumar said the car in which the culprits were travelling had hit the woman official's vehicle following which the matter was reported to the police. The police officer said the official, in her complaint, alleged that the two men made indecent gestures towards her.

“We immediately registered a First Information Report in the case and put check posts at several points to arrest the two young men,” said Mr. Kumar. The accused's vehicle has also been impounded.

An FIR has been registered on charges of rash driving, outraging the modesty of a woman, endangering personal safety, and causing mischief.
