Mumbai, Sept. 8 -- A local court in Mumbai's Andheri area has sentenced a 30-year-old man to one year of imprisonment for sexually harassing a woman jogger in Andheri, a lawyer said here today.
The magistrate court, while convicting the accused, Naresh Kol, observed that misbehaviour should be nipped in the bud without showing leniency.
According to the prosecution, the incident occurred on March 21 when the woman was jogging on a lane around 8pm.
A stranger suddenly held her from behind, sexually harassed her, and attempted to drag her into a forest area. She screamed, and a passing motorcyclist came to her rescue, catching the accused. The police later arrested Kol.
