Security supervisor held for molesting college students

GURUGRAM: A 31-year-old security supervisor was arrested in Sector 14 on Friday in connection with multiple cases of sexual harassment of college-going women. He was produced before the district and sessions court on Saturday and was sent to judicial custody.

The police said he used to do rounds of roads adjoining colleges in a Mahendra Scorpio and touch them inappropriately. If the women tried to raise the alarm, he threatened their lives, the police said.

The police said the suspect works as a security supervisor with a private company in Iffco Chowk and is a married man with a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. He was arrested while trying to flee after allegedly sexually harassing a college student. The man was drunk and his car was confiscated, the police said.

According to police reports, two complaints of molestation have been lodged against the susp e c t . More v i c t i ms h a v e approached the police but refused to register a complaint, an officer said.

On Friday, he was booked for allegedly molesting a charted accountancy student who was on her way to the Sector 14 market. He is alleged to have touched her inappropriately and pushed her, causing her injuries.

Jasvir Singh, station house officer, Sector 14 police station, said that they have been tracking the suspect since receiving a complaint a few weeks ago. “He used to travel on the same route to sexually harass college students. He also used to hurt them. A few victims and family members have approached us, but refused to lodge a formal complaint due to social stigma,” he said.

In the first instance, he is alleged to have harassed two students.

The complainant, mother of one of the students, said, “My daughter is a first-year student. When she and her classmate were leaving college in Sector 14, a man a white Scorpio started following them and molested my daughter.”

She said that the suspect passed inappropriate comments and injured her daughter.
