Kundapur, Jun 14: Just days after the attempted suicide by a minor girl over alleged sexual harassment by three men at Shedimane here, another girl was subjected to harassment, this time at Siddapur. The incident took place on Wednesday June 14.
The girl was waiting near Siddapur to catch a bus back home after school hours when the incident took place. A boy, also reportedly a minor, began clicking her pictures and luring her with eye and hand gestures.
The girl objected to the boy's behaviour and took him to task. Soon, passersby and locals began to gather in hundreds and began thrashing him. They then handed him over to Shankaranarayana police.
Sources said that the boy had harassed other women and girls earlier too and had even been debarred from school for the same issue.
Based on a complaint filed by the girl's parents, Shankaranarayana police have booked the boy under POCSO Act.
