Kasargod, Dec 19: Police have arrested a mantric for sexually harassing a minor girl in Uppala.
Ramachandra Mathrikan (35) working at a religious centre at Kalluhithlu of Peringadi-Kolaragudde is the accused who is said to have sexually harassed a 15-year-old girl, employed as domestic help at his residence.
The girl has complained to the women's cell that the accused had made sexually advances twice in the absence of his wife.
Following his arrest some miscreants resorted to damaging his house, car and bike on Wednesday night. The miscreants also gained entry into the house by breaking open windows and doors and destroyed cupboards, television and other commodities in the house. Case has been registered against a gang for this action as well.
Recently a gang had entered his house and destroyed several commodities at his residence after he had made a provocative speech against a religion during a religious meet.
However, the Mantric claiming innocence has told the reporters that a particular group has been targeting him and it was the same group which must have convinced the girl to lodge complaint against him.
“I am innocent. I have been receiving threats from this particular group and I see the entire episode as a conspiracy against me,” he said.
