She grabbed the harasser by his collar and showered several slaps on his face in the middle of the crowded market. The man started to plead for forgiveness and promised not to repeat his actions. The entire incident was captured by an onlooker and the clip later surfaced on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Police took cognizance of the incident and started the investigation. The accused man was identified as Adnan, son of late Abdul Mabud, a resident of Bajaria police station area in Kanpur. He had been arrested.
