Naseer, a cricket coach from Bengaluru, was arrested on Monday for allegedly sexually harassing a 13-year-old. The 30-year-old coach is a resident of Vidyaranyapura and runs a cricket academy in Jalahalli. He was remanded in judicial custody as reported by The Times of India.

According to police, the teenager is a student of Naseer’s academy, and was sexually harassed around 6.30 pm on Saturday at the GKVK campus. Reports suggest that Naseer had taken the boy for a match, in his van, from the academy. The boy was inappropriately touched in the vehicle when the two were returning.
