In a statement, Noor Dellhan said a police report was lodged on Monday.

“An investigation is ongoing to identify the date and location of the incident. These actions are an offence under Section 509 of the Penal Code,” he said.

Section 509 deals with insulting the modesty of a woman and provides for a jail term of up to five years, or a fine, or both, upon conviction.
