He was sent to judicial custody today.
Sources say Adhana allegedly touched the IAS officer inappropriately and made an indecent gesture. He was nabbed as soon as the officer raised the alarm.
A woman police officer is investigating the matter.
Hooda clarified the accused was not a JJP worker and he came with someone. “I have apologised to the IAS officer for the unfortunate incident,” he said
A district official, who was present at the function, said the accused perhaps had no inkling who the woman was.
