A man riding a scooter molested a teenage girl on a road in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut district and was later arrested after a CCTV video of the incident went viral, police said.

The incident took place in the Railway Road police station area of Meerut. In the viral CCTV footage, the accused, identified as Bilal, was seen riding a scooter and allegedly touching the girl inappropriately while she was walking along the road.

Following his arrest, Bilal was seen inside the police station apologising with folded hands and holding his ears. He repeatedly said, “I made a mistake. I will never commit such an act again. Please forgive me. This will not happen in the future.”

Meerut City SP Vinayak Gopal Bhosale said police initiated action after the CCTV footage came to light a few days ago.

Bhosale said strict action was being taken against the accused.
