Youth held for harassing woman in Hyderabad

A 21-year-old youth working as a courier delivery boy, was arrested by the roving 'SHE Teams' which keep an eye on eve-teasers, on the charge of harassing a young woman.
Md Masiuddin, a resident of Golconda area here was working as a courier boy in a reputed online shopping website, since 11 months, Hyderabad police said in a release today.
He was given the company's mobile phone and SIM card and the contact numbers of its customers, by the company and used to deposit the mobile and SIM after his duty got over. In this process, he happened to contact the victim for delivery of some online product she has ordered, it said.

"Since then, he noted down her number and had been trying to chat with her and asking to make friendship with him, though the victim denied and warned him several times. Though, he continued to do the same and annoyed over this, the victim gave a complaint to the 'SHE Teams' over WhatsApp," it added.
As the victim was not willing to give a complaint, a petty case was registered against Masiuddin and he was arrested and produced in the court. Going through the evidence collected, the Magistrate has convicted him of 2 days jail sentence and fine, police said.

Similarly, five more persons including students were nabbed on charge of teasing and harassing women in different parts of the city.
Hyderabad police set up SHE Teams to crack down on eve-teasers and stalkers in October 2014. A single SHE Team consists of a male or female sub-inspector, a woman police constable and three police constables who carry hidden cameras for video recording.
