‘Reaction to a fall is not kissing’: Mumbai man gets 1-year jail for forcing himself on mall saleswoman

A Mumbai court convicted a cleaner for forcibly kissing a saleswoman last year. The judge dismissed the cleaner's claim of accidentally falling onto the victim. Evidence showed the act was intentional, involving criminal force and sexual overtures.

The cleaner received one year rigorous imprisonment and a fine for his actions. This conviction occurred under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita laws.
