KANPUR: A professor was arrested by Government Railway Police (GRP) on Monday on charge of molesting the married daughter of a judge posted in Kanpur, in the AC coach of 14724 Bhiwani-Delhi-Kanpur Kalindi Express. 

The victim and her husband were on way to Kanpur to see her parents from New Delhi. 

This is the second case after the recent molestation incident, in which a senior IAS officer had been accused of molesting an executive of Google India, in Lucknow Mail on October 1. 

Jai Kishan, professor of pharmacology at Major SD Singh Medical College in Fatehgarh, was accused of making indecent advances towards a woman passenger while travelling in the B-1 coach of the train. 

A resident of Mahipalpur in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, he boarded Kalindi Express in New Delhi on Sunday night. The incident occurred between Shikohabad and Mainpuri railway stations, about 265 km from Lucknow, during the wee hours on Monday. A case was filed by the woman's husband, who was travelling with her in the B-1 coach on berth no: 53 and 54, under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) with the GRP at the Farrukhabad railway station after the train reached there on Monday morning. 

An official of GRP told TOI that the woman's husband alleged in the FIR that Jai Kishan tried to outrage the modesty of his wife after the train left Shikohabad railway station. 

She raised an alarm and apprised her husband. The latter informed the train attendant and police escort team. Jai Kishan was arrested in Farrukhabad. His family members have also been informed and the accused has been sent for medical examination. He will be produced in a court after the formalities are over. 

Accused Jai Kishan had denied the incident by saying that the issue is an outcome of misunderstanding between him and the fellow traveller.
