The woman is posted in Arunachal Pradesh and had come here for a meeting on May 28, they said.

She alleged she was added in a WhatsApp group of people associated with the Bharat Scouts and Guides. In the group "scandalous remarks" were posted against her, police said.

She also alleged that a man, who is not an employee of the Bharat Scouts and Guides, alongwith some other persons posted obscene comments about her on Facebook too, police said.
