Hyderabad: The roving 'SHE Teams' that keeps a hawkish eye on eve-teasers have arrested four men, including a septuagenarian, for allegedly teasing women in separate cases in the city, police said today.


According to police, all the four accused were arrested over the past couple of days. "71-year-old Mohammad Shadiq Ali, a retired employee, who was sitting at Koti bus stop here and was trying to touch ladies inappropriately. The victims who were sitting at the bus stop beside him were frightened by his acts and were shifting to other places," a release from Hyderabad Police said.


"This was video-graphed by the SHE teams present there and the accused was caught red-handed," it said, adding that the elderly man was produced before a magistrate, who sentenced him to jail for two days.
