A constable posted at Karhal gate police outpost was yesterday arrested for allegedly outraging the modesty of a girl on May 25, police said.
The 16-year-old girl had gone to the police outpost to enquire about a case when the policeman misbehaved with her. The incident was also recorded in a mobile phone, they said. NDTV reported that the girl and her sister had gone to the police station.
The clipping went viral on social media following which the state government ordered strict action against the constable in question.
