HC: Whistling and grabbing a minor's hand is harassment, not sexual assault

The Madras High Court stated that whistling at a minor or holding their hand does not qualify as sexual assault, classifying it instead as harassment. This observation was made by the court while approving bail for an individual convicted under the POCSO Act. The incident involved the man whistling at a girl from his balcony, and after she did not respond, he approached her and held her hand.
