A temple priest who allegedly misbehaved with a 10-year-old girl near Madipakkam in Chennai was caught by the girl’s parents and handed over to the police.
Sivakumar, a 59-year-old man who lives in a private apartment complex in the Ullagaram Mandapam link road, allegedly misbehaved with a 10-year-old girl in the same apartment last Wednesday.
As the parents came to know of the incident, a frightened Sivakumar absconded.
Sivakumar, who had returned to his house in the morning at 5 AM to take essential items with him, was locked inside by the girl’s parents who then informed the police. A case has been filed under the POCSO Act.
