RAWALPINDI: Another female polo worker was harassed by a man who allegedly expressed derogatory remarks against her during the immunisation campaign in the Westridge police area on the last day of the five-day polio vaccination campaign.

The police claimed to have arrested the suspect after registering a case against him.

The polio worker complained to the police that she was administering drops to children along with a health team when Abdul Rahman made obscene gestures and uttered derogatory remarks against her.

It was the second such incident after the five-day polio immunisation campaign was launched on Monday.

A man suspected of harassing a woman health worker in Jatli on Monday was also taken into custody by the police.
