A bangle seller beaten up and robbed in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for allegedly using a fake Hindu name, has been accused of molestation and sexual harassment and a police case has been filed against him. Earlier on Monday, three men were arrested for the attack on the 25-year-old. Late in the evening, a case was filed against him under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences or POCSO on the complaint of the girl, a student of Class 6. After Sunday morning's attack, the state's Home Minister Narottam Mishra said, "If a man hides his name, caste and religion then bitterness comes in," adding that the incident should not be given "communal colour". "He was using a Hindu name, though he belonged to a different community. He also had two different Aadhaar cards... he was selling bangles which our daughters wear and apply henna during sawan (monsoon)... that's how the altercation started," the minister said.
