Elderly man held for molesting minor
BENGALURU: A 62-year-old
retired government member of staff was under arrest under the Pocso Act, for
barging into a residence and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl, in Indira
Colony, Chandra Layout on Sunday.
Chinnamariah
stayed with his wife and three children in the same locality and he was known
to the girl's parents. Around noon, when the girl's mother had gone to the
market, Chikkamaraiah barged into the home and sexually assaulted the girl.
Suspect
thrashed by mob:
The
girl's screams drew the attention of neighbors who rushed and grabbed the
suspect. He was thrashed by the mob and handed over to the jurisdictional
Chandra Layout police. A 25-year-old youth from Peenya was caught by passersby
when he tried to grab the chain of a lady on her morning walk in Soladevanahalli, north Benglauru, on Sunday morning.
Around
5.30am, Jyothi, 37, and her neighbour, both residents of Maruthi Nagar, had gone on their morning walk to nearby
Dwarakanagar. The suspect Sridhar approached Jyothi from
behind and tried to snatch the chain. She, however, held on to the chain.
Hearing her shouts, a mob gathered and caught Sridhar. They trashed him before
handing over to Soladevanahalli police.
