KOLKATA: Two young officials of a nationalized bank have been arrested for molesting and passing lewd comments at a 10-year-old girl and her mother at an apartment in Garfa in the wee hours of Monday.
Abhinava Chatterjee and Rahul Sapui, both in their mid-20 s, had gone to a colleague's flat on Rajanikanta Bose Road to watch the Euro final. Another colleague who accompanied the duo has also been named as an accused in the case but is absconding. The trio - working in a nationalized bank's Salt Lake branch - left the apartment after the match got over, around 2am. Another family staying in the same apartment had returned home around the same time and was approaching the stairs.
Police said the trio molested the schoolgirl, who had climbed the stairs ahead of her parents. As the girl screamed, her mother rushed to her aid. But the youths were undeterred and made lewd comments. Her husband, who was a few paces behind his wife and daughter as he had to park his car, arrived within moments.
The heated exchange alerted local youths. Chatterjee was caught, beaten up and handed over to the police but Sapui and the other colleague managed to escape.
On the basis of the complaint lodged by the girl's father, police booked Taltala resident Chatterjee . Sapui was arrested in the morning from his Salt Lake home. Both were charged with molestation and eve-teasing. Their absconding colleague is a resident of Nadia's Ranaghat.
The incident comes days after the molestation of a Class-V student at Garfa. The girl had gone to school in her pool car on June 22 like any other day and on the way, she had been molested by the cleaner of the car.
