A 27-year-old man was arrested in Bengaluru after a woman accused him of sexually harassing her.
On April 30, the accused, an auditor with a private firm, unzipped his trousers and flashed at the woman aboard a metro train.
When she raised an alarm, co-passengers pounced on him and started thrashing him before surrendering him to Jayanagar police.
He's now stationed in Central Prison.

According to the complaint, the 30-year-old woman was en route to Banashankari from Rajajinagar station around 5:15pm.
She felt someone was pressing himself on her, so she warned him to keep a distance.
Praveen B Hegde, resident of Konanakunte in South Bengaluru, gave the excuse of the metro being crowded.
After sometime, Hegde unzipped his trousers and started ejaculating in front of her.
