Resident of Khandari Bazaar locality in Kaiserbagh area, the girl was returning home after attending sewing and embroidery classes on Thursday when the accused, Om Kumar intercepted and caught hold of her hand. The girl slapped the boy with the other hand and tried to break free. However, the accused tried to tear her clothes in full public view. In the scuffle, some part of girl's shirt was torn. The girl cried for help but people in the street did not stop or caught the boy. However, a woman came forward and covered the girl with her duppatta. The victim was also escorted to her home by the woman. Later, the girl and her father went to lodge a complaint at Khandari Bazaar police outpost. However, they were shocked when the police allegedly told them to compromise because by lodging a complaint the girl would get undue publicity and would adversely affect her marriage prospect.
The girl and her father came back home. However, they decided not to keep quit after such a humiliation. On Friday, they went to the office of SSP R K Chaturvedi and narrated their story. The SSP office called up Kaiserbagh police station and directed officers to lodge the complaint. The Khandari Bazara police outpost comes under Kaiserbagh police station. Girl's father later told reporters that after SSP's intervention, their complaint was registered and police swung into action. The accused was also arrested late on Friday night. After arrest, the boy accepted that he used to follow the girl but denied allegations of trying to tear her clothes. "I proposed her and simply asked her to reply in yes or no and left," he said. However, the victim said that the boy was following and pestering her since long. The girl said that she told the boy several times not to follow her but to no avail.
Though the accused was arrested, the incident created ripples in the city. Several women organisations including All India Democratic Women's Association condemned the incident and demanded action against the police officials who initially refused to lodge the complaint of the girl. Significantly, on October 1, IAS officer Shashi Bhushan was arrested by the government railway police (GRP) on charges of trying to molest a woman on Lucknow Mail. The allegations are that the GRP also tried to pressurise the woman to compromise and withdraw her complaint. However, the victim remained firm on her stand forcing the GRP to arrest the officer. Later, on chief minister's order strict sections of the IPC were slapped on the officer. However, the accused was granted bail on October 3. He denied allegations and accused the woman of making a casteist remark against him.
