A Mumbai court on Thursday, 20 October, convicted a 25-year-old businessman for calling a minor girl "item" and sexually harassing her.
Special judge SJ Ansari observed that the term "item" objectified women in a sexual manner and would attract the offence of outraging modesty of woman under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The court has sentenced the accused to 1.5 years in jail.
