A man was allegedly assaulted for saving his daughter from regular harassment in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr, police said.
Police said a boy was stalking and misbehaving with a girl for the past few days. Whenever the girl used to go out, the boy passed comments and stalked her.
Fed up with regular harassment, when the girl finally mustered courage and narrated the incident to her family, her father reported the incident to villagers and confronted the boy.
The incident was recorded on a CCTV camera, in which it was seen that a group of men assaulted a man as he came out of his home. The video was also tweeted by the UP Congress handle, mentioning that the girls are not safe in UP.
