Software engineer fined meager Rs.200 for molesting a girl

Software engineer fined meager Rs.200 for molesting a girlPrasad Chande, a Software engineer was booked for indecent behaviour by the Government Railway police for behaving indecently with a girl in Igatpuri.
Sujata Said, “I am in a deep sleep with my mother. Between 2 am and 3 am, I felt something moving over my dress. I realised that Chande was trying to touch me. He had been trying to do that for quite some time while getting off and on his berth. He even tried putting his hand inside my clothes. Shocked and scared, I moved a little. But when he tried to put his middle finger in my mouth, I gathered the courage to bite his finger. Angry with his indecent behaviour, I then slapped him."  

Sujata's mother said, "I asked the man not to leave the train, but he started running away. I chased him to the next compartment, dragged him back to our seats and did not let go of him. He begged me not to register a police complaint, saying that he was going to get married. But I was appalled that someone going to be married can indulge in such indecency."

She added, "Upon reaching CST the next morning, the police told us that an FIR against him would require us to come down to Mumbai several times. So we asked them to charge and fine him, so he would not repeat the act again."

According to police officials, a non-cognisable offence was registered against Chande at the CST police station.

Chande was booked under LAC (Local Act Charges) Sections 110 and 117 for indecent behaviour. He was taken to railway court number 35 where he was fined Rs 200 and sent to police custody for a few hours.
