Youth harasses cops’ daughters, booked

CHANDIGARH: Police booked a youth for harassing daughters of Chandigarh police constables in Sector 40 on Tuesday evening.
Police said the girls were standing in Sector 40 market, when a youth in a Lancer car, bearing Chandigarh's registration number, arrived and passed lewd comments at them.
Peeved at the remarks, one of the girls raised objections and challenged the youth.
The SHO of PS 39, inspector Charanjeet Singh, said eyewitnesses mantained that after being challenged, the youth came out of the car carrying an iron rod and threatened both the girls with dire consequences.
The girls raised an alarm, and informed the police control room. They also gave the registration number of car (CH-04C-0313) to the police. The youth, however, fled the spot.
Police said two houses — one in Chandigarh and another in Mohali — have been raided but the accused could not be traced. A case was registered at police station Sector 39.
