A 25-year-old married woman was allegedly molested by her brother-in-law, who was stalking her for around six months, in Chandni Mahal area of central Delhi.
Based on complaint filed by the woman, police have registered a case and arrested the accused.
According to the victim's statement, accused was stalking her for the past six months, but last night, he tried to force himself upon her.
Police said the incident was reported at around 11 pm on Monday, adding that the victim has also alleged that the accused had been passing lewd remarks for the past several months.
