A day after mid-day reported on the menace of a naked man in Digha, the Rabale MIDC police arrested the accused. The suspect was tracked down by the Kalwa cops and handed over to Rabale MIDC cops.

A naked man was creating havoc in Digha for the past fortnight. He was also captured in CCTV footage. The movement of the man had created panic among the residents as they felt he was part of a gang of criminals who were in the area for house breakings. A case of housebreaking was also registered by Rabale MIDC police when two mobile phones and cash were stolen. The sighting of the man also sparked rumours that some serial rapists were on the prowl. However, the police received no such complaints. Rabale MIDC had circulated the CCTV footage of the man in Navi Mumbai as well as Thane for identification of the accused.
