CHENNAI: Two persons were arrested in separate cases under women harassment charges by the city police.
A 45-year-old man was held for setting fire to his estranged wife's scooter outside her residence in Koyambedu on July 15.
The accused, Sankar of Alwarthirunagar, had a habit of turning up drunk at his former wife's residence to create a ruckus.
The fire spread to two more bikes, and they were gutted too. He was arrested based on a complaint by the residents of the area.
In another case, Rajkumar, a 30-year-old gym trainer, was arrested for harassing a woman and threatening to publish her private photos online.
