Over six months after a 30-year-old guard at a high-rise in Central Mumbai allegedly molested an eight-year-old girl, police have managed to arrest the man who was on the run since the incident.

As per a report in The Indian Express, according to police, the incident took place on May 28 when the man lifted the girl while she was playing in the verandah and took her inside the pump room, and molested her. Police said soon after the incident, the eight-year-old returned home and informed her mother about the incident, who raised an alarm and went to the police station. When the suspect realised that the woman was going to the police to lodge a complaint, he fled from the spot, an investigator said.
