A youth was detained by the Vadodara police on Thursday after allegedly assaulting a female student at M S University.
The incident happened last weekend while the girl was waiting outside the university’s Commerce building, according to a complaint filed with the Sayajigunj police station.
Accused Ghanshyam Raghuvanshi appeared out of nowhere and attempted to physically assault her. She had broken off their conversation, which infuriated him.
A security guard who was on duty rushed to the girl’s aid when she screamed for assistance. The young man fled when he saw him. Raghuvanshi is her neighbour, said the victim. The accused will be produced before a court, said a police station officer.
