Lucknow: Four miscreants allegedly sexually assaulted three girls on their way home in Vrindavan Yojna colony here, said officials on Tuesday.
The girls, all cousins, were returning to their homes via a mango grove after purchasing medicine on Monday evening, when the miscreants intercepted them and forced them to stop.
The miscreants then forced the girls to accept their proposals and allegedly tried to touch them inappropriately.
