Madhya Pradesh: Police Arrest 3 Tribal Men For Alleged Sexual Harassment Of Women In Public

The arrests were made on the basis of a video of the harassment that went viral on social media. The police have detained two more persons who apparently shot the video and made it viral.

New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Police on Sunday arrested three Tribal men for allegedly harassing women sexually in full public view in the Alirajpur district, news agency PTI reported.

The arrests were made on the basis of a video of the harassment that went viral on social media. Consequently, the police have detained two more persons who apparently shot the video and made it viral.

We have detained the man who made the video and another one who made it viral. Besides, we have arrested three accused who were seen misbehaving with women,” Alirajpur Superintendent of Police Manoj Singh told PTI. The police aim to arrest three to four more people in the case.

The video that went viral shows a few men pushing and kissing women forcibly in the middle of the road while some other men are shouting. Although two of the men can be seen wearing saffron towels, the police have denied any accused’s affiliation with any political parties.

Singh told PTI that the trio was booked under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with an intent to outrage her modesty) and 345-A (sexual harassment) and 34 (criminal acts done by several persons with common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.

He added that “No woman has lodged a complaint with us. We took the action based on the video that has gone viral.”

He also said that the incident occurred two days back on Friday in the Wallpur area of the tribal-dominated Alirajpur district that is around 392 km away from Bhopal.

According to PTI, the miscreants were visiting Wallpur to participate in ‘Bhagoriya’ which is a tribal festival. 

“Yes, we have detained the man who shot this video and another who made it viral on Saturday”, another police officer said. Some locals from Alirajpur told PTI that the video was shot on Friday.
