New Delhi, Oct. 18:  Residents of a village here on Monday tried to “teach a lesson” to a man for allegedly attempting to rape a girl, by parading him in the streets after garlanding him with shoes.

Podha (25) allegedly tried to commit the crime when the girl went to the fields at village Rasulpur in on Monday morning, police said. Villagers, however, captured and garlanded him with shoes and took him around the village, they added.
