A 51-year-old electronic goods dealer, arrested by the Pulakeshi Nagar police a week ago for allegedly blackmailing and sexually harassing a woman Customs officer, has been booked for assaulting police personnel during medical examination. The arrest of the accused M. Kripalani, a resident of Indiranagar, came after the officer filed a complaint accusing him of exploiting her trust and threatening to release private material to coerce her.
