Bengaluru : A principal scientist of a government science research institute here has been arrested on charges of sexually harassing four PhD scholars, the police said on Sunday.

"The victims were sexually harassed by Parvez for the past one year," he alleged.The PhD scholars lodged a complaint of sexual harassment against the principal scientist.
