Beltangady: A case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered at Venoor Police Station against a man who allegedly harassed a minor schoolgirl by following her and repeatedly asking for her phone number.
The incident occurred in Pullayi, a village in Kukkedi of Beltangady taluk.
The accused, Jumar (24), a resident of Sajipanadu in Bantwal taluk, works as a mechanic for grass-cutting machines. Over the past five days, he allegedly followed the girl and her relative, who were traveling to college with a neighboring student.
