CHENNAI: A 31-year-old man was arrested under the POCSO Act for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl on Monday while they were travelling on a Chennai-bound flight from London.
The Meenambakkam AWPS police identified the suspect as Jawas George of Anna Nagar, who worked as a software engineer in Ireland.
“The incident took place on Sunday when George was sitting behind the minor on the flight. The Class 10 student alerted her parents, who immediately approached the cabin crew for help. After the flight landed in Chennai, the minor’s parents lodged a police complaint,” an officer said.
