The Ashok Nagar Police have arrested a 60-year-old landlord for allegedly sexually harassing his 20-year-old tenant.

According to the complaint, the student has been living for about two and a half months at an apartment on Burley Street, Shantinagar, and is pursuing her degree at a private college.

The complainant alleged that the apartment owner, identified as Kamlesh Kumar, 60, visited her residence around 6.25 p.m. on Saturday to inspect pending repair work. She was reportedly alone at the apartment at the time. After inspecting the repair work, Kumar allegedly began asking her about her college. The complainant alleged that he then held her hand and tried to look at her mehndi. When she attempted to pull her hand away, he allegedly pulled her towards him and molested her. She further alleged that despite her attempts to move away, Kumar continued to sexually harass her and told her not to worry or be afraid.

The Ashok Nagar police have registered an FIR against Kamlesh Kumar under Sections 74 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 75(2) (sexual harassment) of the BNS, 2023, and arrested him.
