New Delhi:

Police on Thursday arrested a man for molesting a tribal girl working in his office in Vyara town of Tapi district after video of the act went viral on social networking sites.

“Tapi police arrested Ajay Rajput for molesting a girl employee at his office,” district superintendent of police MK Nayak said.

The girl worked as a Computer teacher in Ajay Rajput’s office, reports said. The man has claimed that he is the PA of a BJP MLA, however, BJP has denied his claims.

“Rajput runs an NGO, ‘Navnirman trust’, in Vyara, for the uplift and education of tribal community,” he said.

The purported video shows both Rajput and the victim girl and was allegedly shot by another woman in his office.

Manisha Solanki, member of Adivasi Kisan Sangharsh Morcha, a local organisation, had earlier on Thursday met the police over the incident.

The process of registration of FIR is on, and the police had traced the woman who allegedly shot the video but she has not been arrested yet, the DSP said.
