Lawyer arrested for molesting minor girl on train
Erode railway police arrested a Chennai-based lawyer on Sunday for allegedly trying to molest a nine-year-old girl on a train. He was identified KP Prem Ananth, a resident of Besant Nagar in Chennai.
A relative of the victim, S Abilash of Purasawalkam in Chennai, had lodged a complaint against the 57-year-old man. “Abilash and family were on the way to Chennai in the Thiruvananthapuram-Chennai Express when the minor girl told them about a passenger, who misbehaved with her.

When the train arrived at Erode Railway Junction, RPF police asked the passenger to get down from the train. He was handed over to GRP.
