Hyderabad: The Rachakonda SHE Teams caught 75 persons, including 19 minors, for harassing women and prevented seven child marriages in the last three months. An MBBS student and a dance master too were among those caught.
Those caught attended the mandatory counselling sessions at the Police Commissioner’s camp office in LB Nagar. In one case in September, an MBBS final year student from South Swaroop Nagar molested a 26-year-old girl while she was returning from a beauty parlour.

He was earlier involved in molesting a minor girl too, police said.
In another case, a dance master of a private engineering college harassed a girl in the name of love. He threatened to make her private pictures public if she did not accept his proposal.
