Ouraging modesty of a woman is a cognizable offence u/s 354 of IPC. Section 504 is non-cognizable where, the police only takes down the complaint and directs you to go to the court for filing a private criminal case. The section, though N. C. provides for 2 years punishment. Section 509 also provides for 3 years r.I. This is cognizable section.
So, the victim woman should go to the police and lodge her complaint accordingly. This process is so simple !
