Mumbai Crime: Man Arrested For Allegedly Groping School Girl At Masjid Railway Station

A 34-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly groping a 13-year-old schoolgirl at the Masjid railway station in Mumbai, according to The Times of India. The incident occurred on October 12 when the teenager was returning home from an exam. Around 10:45 am, she was walking across a foot overbridge above platforms 1 and 2 at the Masjid railway station.

The accused, Rakesh Gaud, is said to have hidden among the crowd, groped the young girl, and then allegedly followed her to her home in Pydhonie. After the girl reported the incident to her mother, a complaint was filed at the Pydhonie police station, leading to a case of molestation being filed and the matter being transferred to the GRP station at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

Police investigation included checking CCTV footage from the Masjid railway station and the surrounding area, which identified the suspect walking towards Musafirkhana. Rakesh Gaud, a resident of Govandi, was subsequently arrested and produced before the court.
