I think some people are mixing up several things and drawing conclusions.
Was the girl justified in alerting the security guards and the police?
Yes, it is fully justified for her to have reacted in that manner. She felt that she is being stalked/harassed or going to be stalked/harassed and reacted immediately to protect herself. Nothing wrong in that. There is no saying what kind of guy he is and how he might have reacted if she had neglected the incident. Every 20 min, there is a rape happening in the country and many of those start of in just as seemingly harmless a manner as trying to woo a girl to go out with him or marry. There is no way to judge her as over reacting. There is no point in waiting for the worst possible situation to materialize before alerting. She didn't cook up false stories. She only told them what actually happened.
Did the guy deserve such a reaction from the girl?
Yes, he did. People should not act however way they please without understanding the place, situation, circumstances. His approach of asking her out is pretty common trait of many a stalker, eve teaser and potential rapist. If he knew the psyche of the country, he would have known that his approach could be very easily mis-understood. Be it ignorance or disregard, his approach was one that could definitely have prompted a reaction of this nature and not just from this particular girl.
Did the guy deserve man-handling and threats from the girls husband, father.
Of course, he did not. while the girls reaction was well justified, the husbands and fathers reactions were beyond legal bounds. Unfortunately, the laws are so poor in our country that anybody can take the law into their hands without fear of punishment and that is what happened here.
Did the guy deserve action from the police?
First of all, It is a miracle that the police promptly acted on the compliant. There have been several instances where where women were constantly harassed even molested/raped and still police refuse to take a compliant. Once the police acted on it, they were fully justified in taking him to police station for questioning. If the police have done anything beyond the legal limits after that, the police is to be blamed. The girl is no way responsible for the consequences that the guy ended up with. As far as she is considered, she did the right thing by taking preemptive action.
