The police have quickly responded by arresting the two accused and initiating legal proceedings under the relevant sections of the law. According to sources from The Assam Tribune, the victim, an employee of a local shop, was on her way home when the incident occurred.

“I was on my way home at 8 pm when two youths on a scooter approached me and touched me inappropriately. I immediately sought help from a passerby, but they managed to escape," recounted the victim. Following the ordeal, she lodged an FIR at the Milan Nagar Police Station.
