Madras HC: Whistling at minor, pulling hand not sexual assault

NewsBytes 1 week ago
The Madras High Court has ruled that whistling at a minor girl and pulling her hand does not amount to sexual assault under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The ruling came while hearing an appeal by Mandai alias Manogaran, who was convicted by a Special POCSO Court in Chennai for an incident in March 2020, News18 reported. The court observed that such behavior amounts to harassment rather than sexual assault.
