A 19-year-old domestic help was arrested from The Magnolias in DLF 5 on Golf Course Road on Friday night for allegedly molesting and assaulting another help on the premises, police said.
Police said the accused was allegedly in an inebriated state when the incident took place on Thursday night. A case was registered under sections 354 A (sexual harassment), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC at the women police station at Sector 51.
Usha Kundu, assistant commissioner of police, said, “The accused worked in one of the apartments in the condominium.” He was granted bail on Saturday after being produced to city court, police said.
The 30-year-old complainant works as a domestic help in one of the apartments. On Thursday, around 9pm, when she was walking her dog, the accused allegedly approached her and said that he loved her. She told the police that she ignored him and kept walking but he caught hold of her.
“He touched me inappropriately, I got scared and shouted for help. Security guards rushed to the spot but he fled. When I reached near my tower, he suddenly appeared and started abusing me and assaulted me. I fell on the ground and shouted for help again,” the victim told police. Kundu said the victim did not know him and he was identified only after people at the condominium scanned the CCTV footage.
DLF officials couldn’t be reached for a comment.
