Two unidentified men have been targeting preteen girls in Nalasopara, but they are yet to be arrested by the cops. The police have been making desperate efforts to apprehend them and now have announced a cash reward of Rs 5,000 for those who provide credible information about the sexual predators. According to police reports, both wanted individuals have been stalking underage girls on their way to school or in the market areas of Nalasopara West.

“These two accused individuals block the path of young girls in busy stretches and then swiftly flee the scene,” shared an officer. The cops at Tulinj police station have retrieved CCTV footage capturing the offences and the faces of the sexual predators. Two back-to-back cases registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act in consecutive months have raised the concern of senior police officers. They have decided to circulate CCTV grabs to expedite the detection of these sensitive cases.
