A special court has sentenced a 27-year-old man to three months’ imprisonment for sexually harassing a minor on board a local train in 2019. The court noted that travelling in the general compartment does not justify any male passenger repeatedly touching a woman, according to a news agency.

The accused was held guilty of the offences committed under the Indian Penal Code as well as relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
