A special court has sentenced a 27-year-old man to three months of imprisonment for sexually harassing a minor on board a Mumbai local train, noting that travelling in the general compartment does not justify any male passenger repeatedly touching a woman, reported news agency PTI.

Special judge Neeta Anekar passed the order on November 1, holding the accused guilty of the offences committed under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section section 354(D) (stalking) as well as relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, reported PTI.
