Tripura: Two minors sexually harassed, probe begins

Agartala: In a shocking incident, two minor girls allegedly suffered sexual harassment at the hands of their neighbour in the Khowai district of Tripura. A specific case was lodged with the Teliamura police station soon after the matter was brought to the notice of the parents.

According to available information, both minors used to stay at home alone throughout the day as their parents had to venture out for work in the morning.

On the day of the incident, both girls went to the house of their neighbour. The accused identified as Sagar Marak took advantage and assaulted them sexually.
