A man from the Arapalayam area of Madurai has been arrested after he was found guilty of molesting a four-year-old girl at the Arapalayam bus terminal.

The incident happened on Tuesday when the accused, identified as 47-year-old Senthil, was found touching the minor girl inappropriately by her mother. The mother and daughter were returning from a relative's funeral when the mother seated the girl in the bus stand and went to a place nearby to wash her face. When she returned, she found the man touching her daughter inappropriately and kissing her. When she tried to stop him, he reportedly abused her verbally before she called for help.

The accused was handed over to the police at the Karimedu police station and he was arrested after a brief inquiry.
