Dhar: A 16-year-old boy was tied to a pole and thrashed in a full public view in Karoda village in the district today for allegedly harassing a woman, police said. His mother who tried to intervene was also tied to another pole and beaten up, a senior official said. A woman had filed a complaint of molestation against the teenager on Wednesday in Badnawar police station in the district.
