The girl was intimidated after the repeated sexual harassment and stopped going to classes altogether for a few days. Things came to the limelight when she opened up during a school counselling session.
The school authorities informed the police, who then apprehended Mujeeb Rahman. He was thereafter produced before a local court in Thamarassery. The magistrate then sent him to judicial custody under the POCSO Act.
