Harda: A female national level under-17 football player from Harda has lodged a complaint of harassment and eve-teasing against a youth, police said.

“We have registered a case against the accused based on the complaint of the player. She filed the complaint last evening (Sunday),” Harda Kotwali Police Station in-charge Pankaj Tyagi said on Monday. In her complaint, the six-time national player said that she was repeatedly being harassed by the youth on her way to stadium for practice. The girl, a Class IX student, had earlier informed her family members and co-players about it, who took her to the police station and lodged a formal complaint. Tyagi said that search has been launched for the accused after the registration of the case. The complaint comes within a week of suicide by a school girl due to harassment in Harda.

On February 2, a school girl had committed suicide due to the alleged police inaction on her complaint regarding eve-teasing.
