Two college students were in for a rude shock when they noticed the man riding next to their autorickshaw was jerking off while looking at them near Khar on Tuesday evening.
According to an official attached with Khar police station, the accused spotted the girls while he was waiting at the signal near 16th road, Khar (W). After the rickshaw went ahead, he caught up with them on his Yamaha RX 100 and matched their speed. Following which, he unzipped his pant and started masturbating in broad daylight while staring at them.
Despite being disgusted at the sight, the girls managed to take a picture of the man and circulated it amongst their friends, one of whom tweeted it to Mumbai Police’s official twitter handle. The tweet read, “@MumbaiPolice friends were in a rickshaw & a man starting shagging looking at them what action can be taken on this?”
After receiving the requisite details, along with the picture, there was little doubt about what the miscreant was up to. As as result, cops took suo motu action and registered the case before the complainant could give an official statement.
The case was immediately escalated to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Satyanarayan Chaudhary, who asked his team to locate his address from his bike number and monitor CCTV footage from the area.
After narrowing down his location, beat officials from the area were alerted and shown his picture. Fortunately, one of them recognized his face and led to his arrest.
The accused, identified as Rais Likayat Qureshi, was arrested the same day and produced before Bandra Metropolitan magistrate court on Wednesday. The 35-year-old Bandra resident has been remanded to judicial custody till July 26.
