Kolkata, Apr 18 (IBNS): Cops from Netaji Nagar Police Station on Monday arrested one 70-year-old man, Kamal Ganguly, from his residence near Kolkata's Tollygunge area, for allegedly manhandling a college girl, reports said.

According to reports, a 22-year-old student of Presidency University alleged that she was molested by at least six suspected Trinamool Congress (TMC) activists at Gandhi Colony area under Netaji Nagar PS limits around 9 p. on Friday, while she was returning home with a friend, for smoking openly and wearing shorts.

She alleged that her friend was also manhandled by the attackers.

According to locals, arrested Kamal Ganguly is a TMC activist.
