The girl student had filmed the act and uploaded the video on social media causing widespread outcry. She had lodged an FIR with police over alleged molestation.

Following which, a case under sexual harassment and performing obscene act in public was registered at Vasant Vihar police station on February 10.

The incident took place when the woman was returning home on February 7 on a DTC bus.

The victim said,''I was travelling in crowded bus when a man sitting next to me was molesting me. I was left stunned but then I made a video of the incident & posted it on social media to make people aware of the incident. People don't even consider something like this a form of sexual harassment.''

The complainant claimed that he ignored the man when he was misbehaving with her but was shocked when she saw him unzipping his pants. Meanwhile, a police investigation into the incident is underway.
