A 49-year-old resident of Chokkabettu in Surathkal has been arrested on the charge of sexually harassing a 27-year-old woman from Bejai.
The Surathkal Police gave the name of the arrested person as Mohammed Sharief Siddique.
In a complaint filed with the Surathkal Police, the victim’s mother said that Siddique has been sexually harassing her daughter for the last four years. Unable to bear this, her husband passed away a few days ago. Since then, Siddique has been in regular touch with the victim.
