According to reports, the suspect, identified as Iqbal, allegedly tried to molest the girl in a city graveyard. But he was immediately spotted by the people present there after the girl shouted for help.
The suspect was manhandled by people before being handed over to the police.
On the other hand, he pleaded forgiveness, saying that he would not commit such a thing again in his life.
It is pertinent to mention here that incidents of molesting minors are frequent in Punjab and other provinces and a sense of agony prevails among the people. In a recent incident, infuriated women beat up a man in Lahore who had molested a minor girl.
