Ullal: A 26-year-old man has been arrested for flashing his genital and harassing women after illegally entering a room specially arranged for women to offer namaz during ramzan in Tokkottu Huda Jumma Masjid in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district, Ullal.

The man, identified as 26-year-old Sujith Shetty, is reported to have trespassed the religious space during a programme organised for the fasting month of Ramzan, on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, April 28 and 29 respectively.

Sujith has been accused of holding hands with several women and misbehaved with them. He also allegedly flashed his genitals to the women, police said. The programme was disrupted due to the incident, and Sujith reportedly escaped from the mosque before action could be taken against him.

Sujith, was working a home guard, is also reported to have had similar cases against him and was suspended from the police force for the same a few days ago. Some women had complained that Sujith had held them in an inappropriate manner while taking selfies with them, a police official told the Indian Express.
