MP: Fed up with harassment, girl leaves studies in Guna; mother pleads for security

A girl in Madhya Pradesh's Guna left her studies midway after she was being harassed by a neighbour in Bude Balaji locality of the district, an official said on Wednesday.

The victim's mother Saroj Kori pleaded for her daughter's safety in the District Collector's office. Kori said that her daughter was being harassed by one Shivam Mahour, who lives in her locality.

"Fed up with the act of the accused, my daughter has left her studies. I have also lodged a complaint in the Kotwali police station but no action was taken against the accused," Saroj said.

Following this, Saroj submitted a letter to the collector and sought justice.

She stated in the complaint letter that the accused used to threaten her daughter of killing her and claimed that no one can do anything to him and he also had assaulted his family members, the complaint letter stated.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Pankaj Shrivastva said that acting on the complaint, the police registered an FIR against the accused. "Strict action would be taken against the accused. Besides, efforts were being made for the girl's admission in the school," he added.

While describing the case, prima facie of love jihad, Sudhir Arjariya toldthat on the basis of the complaint of the victim the police have lodged a case under the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religious Act 2020, and different sections of IPC against the accused.
