Earlier in the day, Bhopal Commissioner of Police (CP), Harinarayanchari Mishra said that a school teacher was arrested for allegedly sexually harassing a three-and-half-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal.
"A complaint was filed in the Kamla Nagar police station regarding sexual harassment with a 3.5-year-old girl. Acting on the complaint, the police registered a case against the accused under section 74 and 75 of Bharatiya Nyay Sahita (BNS) and POCSO act. The accused in the incident is the teacher of the school where the girl studies. He was identified and has been arrested by the police," Mishra told ANI.
"The family members complained about the matter to the police, the team investigated the matter and arrested the accused. Since the age of the victim is quite less, it took a bit of time to know the incident but as soon as the police received the complaint, it immediately swung into action and arrested the accused. The accused has been identified as Kasim Rehan," he added. (ANI)
