‘The cases are rising. Out of eleven cases, the accused in the four cases were unknown while in rest of the cases, the accused was either a friend or acquaintance of the victim,’ said a police official at Maurice Nagar police station. 

It is also seen that the relationships are turning out to be one of the main reasons behind such cases.
‘Most of the cases of molestation or sexual harassment are committed by the known person. We have found that the accused is either a boyfriend or a male friend of the victim,’ said the officer.

The police officials feel that ‘there is under reporting of cases. If we people start reporting every case then we will get at least ten cases daily,’ the officer added. He also added that DU is an open campus which is one of the reasons that more number of molestation cases are reported here.
