IN a shocking incident, two Australian players, who are taking part in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, were allegedly molested in Indore on Thursday.
A motorcyclist, who was later identified as Aqeel Khan and was arrested, allegedly approached the two players and touched them inappropriately while the players were walking to a cafe on Khajrana Road in Indore.
Soon after the incident, the two players informed the security officers who arrived on the scene. Danny Simmons, the Australian team's security manager, filed a complaint at the MIG police station on Thursday evening. With a bystander noting down the vehicle number, Indore police arrested the accused, Aqeel Khan, who was on a bike during the incident.
