Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 12-year-old girl was harassed by her neighbour. Bagsewaniya police have registered a case related to the crime, police said on Tuesday.
Police station incharge told media that both the victim and the accused are daughter and son of railway employees. They live in the same colony.
The family of the victim complained that she became the subject of harassment by the accused for many months. But because of being neighbours they avoided filing a plaint in the police station.
The incident happened some two months back when the accused harassed the girl. The victim’s family raised the issue in front of the accused family. On this, the accused Bhanu Panthi became aggressive and threatened the girl’s family with dire consequences, if they filed a police complaint.
On Monday, the accused made objectionable comment on the girl once again. The girl reported the matter to the police.
The cops have registered a case under section 354, 506 of the IPC and 7/8 of POCSO Act against the accused.
