Though the jawan managed to escape, police traced him, thanks to the abrasions on his face.
CRPF, however, hesitated to take action against the jawan. Finally, a complaint from the girl's family to the Avadi all-women police station, under provisions of the Pocso Act, resulted in the jawan being remanded in judicial custody. A team of police personnel from the police station informed senior CRPF officials.
Police said the girl was returning home a few days ago when she was targeted from behind by a stranger on a dark stretch.
He tried to sexually assault the girl. Though shocked and frightened, the girl took after the fleeing suspect, and landed a few blows and scratches, leaving visible injuries on his face. She couldn't identify him since it was dark.
After the girl told her parents about the incident, the parents lodged a complaint. The girl also told them that she had injured him on the face. Police, with the help of the identification provided, tracked down and identified the jawan. He was later arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
