An 18-year-old girl tried to take her life in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area on April 29 after allegedly being harassed by one of her college mates. She was immediately rushed to a hospital where she was discharged after medical treatment.

Further investigation is underway.

Last month, a 42-year-old man was arrested by the police for sexually harassing a five-year-old girl in the Vasant Kunj area. According to a senior police official, during the enquiry it was revealed that while the victim's parents were out for work, she went to her servant's room to play with her son.

The servant's husband entered the room and exposed himself in front of the minor girl. The girl later narrated the incident to her mother, who then informed the police.

The accused man has been charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
