“A young man alongwith some associates followed them and started teasing them and ultimately the attitude of the teasers became very serious,” Samanta said.
“One of the girls informed her brother over mobile phone and when he came and protested, he was brutally assaulted by the eve-teasers,” the WBHRC registrar said.
“At the intervention of the local people, one of them was detained while three others fled,” he said.
He said that learning from the newspapers about the incident, the Commission decided to take suo motu cognizance of the incident.
