Police today booked a 76-year- old man for allegedly harassing a 25-year-old woman.

The case was filed by a She Team (anti-eve-teasing squad) of Rachakonda Police Commissionarate, an official release said here today.

On May 18, the woman, an MBA graduate, and her grandfather went to a temple where the latter fell ill. The accused, Vinod Dewan, offered help and dropped the duo at their home in his car, it said.
