An auto driver has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 17-year-old college student in his vehicle while it was in motion, causing her to jump out, injuring herself. The incident took place in Malad West on Monday. Under the guidance of Zone XI DCP Sandeep Jadhav, ACP Parkash Bagal, Goregaon division, and Senior Inspector Dushyant Chauhan began the investigation with the help of API Deepak Raiwade, along with PSI Tushar Sukhdev and other detection officers.
“We scanned and examined CCTV footage from the Milap petrol pump route. Through the autorickshaw number, we found an address and a mobile number, but later found that the former was false and the latter was registered in an acquaintance’s name,” said an officer from Malad police station. Police then checked the route further and learnt from a rickshaw union that the accused was residing in Laljipada, Kandivli West. “However, he had no home as such and lived and slept inside his auto,” said an officer.
