Pune: The Chatushrungi police have registered an offence against a 30-year-old man from Pimple Gurav for outraging the modesty of a woman who had borrowed Rs15,000 from him.
The woman stated in her complaint that when she failed to repay the suspect, he molested her and threatened to kill her husband.
The suspect has been booked under section 354 (outraging modesty), 341 (wrongful restraint) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code.
