Mangaluru, Nov 30: A man was beaten up by the public for allegedly troubling a minor girl by giving his number and repeatedly coaxing her to call him.
The incident occured at Boliyar under Konaje police station limits on Saturday November 29.
The accused, Rajesh Nayak (35) has been arrested and booked under Protection of Children against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
It is alleged that Rajesh used to follow the girl in his bike, and throw chits at her with his phone number written on them, and coax her to call him. When he refused to give up, the girl, a student of 10th standard from a different community, informed her family members about him.
When the locals came to know about it, they caught hold of Rajesh on Saturday and beat him up. He was later handed over to the police.
