Guwahati, Jan 10: In a gruesome act, a 55-year-old person allegedly molested a 12-year-old girl by tying her hands and legs before being rescued by local youth, at Dainadubi in North Garo Hills district.

Hands and feet of the minor girl were tied by the accused with an intention to sexually harass her, according to complaints lodged by local NGOs to District Child Welfare Officer at Resubelpara on Thursday.
