The father and brother of a woman (25) were brutally beaten up by a neighbour and his three friends when they confronted the gang for molesting her in Kavinagar area today, police said.
The incident took place this morning when the woman, a schoolteacher, was returning home alone after offering prayers on the occasion of Chhath Puja.
"When she was on her way home, neighbour Chetan stopped her. Soon after three of his friends joined him and started teasing her," a police officer said.
The woman somehow managed to flee the spot and informed her father Bhusan Ram and brother Dhananjay.
"When the father-son duo confronted Chetan and his associates, they suddenly started beating them," the officer said, adding, "they received injuries on their heads and are recuperating at the district hospital".
Based on a complaint, police registered a case and arrested Chetan. The other accused would be arrested soon, the officer added.
