Pratap reportedly pulled the victim's bra strap after she refused to acknowledge his calls, according to Utusan Online.
They were both working at the cake section of the plant.
Pratap pleaded to Magistrate Mohamad Ikhwan Mohd Nasir for a lighter sentence prior to the ruling
Pratap, who was not represented in court, argued that he only pulled the victim's bra strap to gain her attention.
However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Alia Sumayyah Amran asked the court to give a deterrent sentence against Pratap for what he did.
"I urge the court to take into consideration the fact that the accused has disrupted the peace of the workers at the plant," she said.
