According to a complaint filed by the girl, the incident took place yesterday at around 7.30 PM when she was waiting for her brother at Chawla Colony in Ballabgarh.
A car stopped beside her and the three youths in it started to pass obscene remarks, police said.
When the girl, a resident of Sihi Gate Ballabgarh here, tried to avoid them and started walking towards the other direction, the trio followed her and tried to drag her into the car.
On seeing her brother approaching near, the three tried to flee from the scene leaving their car behind.
While two of them managed to flee, one, identified as Dharamendra, was caught by the brother-sister duo, following which he was arrested, police said.
A case has been registered against the trio under section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the IPC, they said.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, thieves barged into a rubber factory here on Friday and took away valuables worth Rs 2 lakh, according to a complaint filed by factory owner Nirmal Kulshreshth.
They took away set-top box, inverter, Tata Sky, DVR, CCTV camera, CPU, UPS, fire extinguishers, among other things.
The factory had closed its operations for three days before the festival.
The thieves also took away with them all the CCTV attachments, police said.
A case has been registered with Sadar Ballabgarh Police Station under section 379 (theft) of the IPC, they said.
