I had to run towards a nearby police outpost to save my modesty,” the woman alleged.
Police swung into action after a video showing a woman and her family members being attacked by goons went viral.
ACP, Chowk, IP Singh said a case of sexual harassment, thrashing a woman and her family members and damaging their car has been registered.
