The accused is identified as Prashant (45), a resident of Kollya Kaniruthota, living at present in a rented house in Amritnagar of Kumpala.
A policewoman was riding her scooter towards her police station in order to join duty. Ex-serviceman Prashant, who waylaid her, sexually harassed the woman. When the policewoman raised alarm, locals gathered, caught the accused and handed him over to Ullal police.
