The Malwani police have arrested the 37-year-old president of BJP ward number 33 after he allegedly molested a 19-year-old who stays near his office. She was looking for a job and the accused, Umesh Pande, who is a friend of her father, had promised to help her get it.

Officials said the girl's father used to sometimes send water and tea whenever Pande had guests. The girl used to address the accused as uncle. For the past few days, as her father was out of town, she used to take tea and water to the office of the accused. She had asked the accused if he could help her get a job, and he had assured her and her father to help.
