A 60-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 34-year-old executive of a cellular service provider.

According to the police, Prakash Kesarimal Jain, a resident of Byculla West, went to the cellular service provider's gallery on NM Joshi Road on March 10. In the gallery, he was sitting on the chair next to female executive.

Jain told the executive that he wants a new connection. When she asked her to come to the counter with the documents, he grabbed her hand and threatened her.

The gallery staff immediately asked Jain to leave. Later, the female executive and her colleagues lodged a complaint at Agripada police station, following which Jain was arrested.

After the victim lodged a complaint against the accused, she found out that he has molested two more women in the past

In her complaint, the woman said, "Jain grabbed my hand and said ‘come with me, I don't even have a wife."

On Thursday, Agripada police produced Jain in the court. "The accused molested another woman 10 days ago. An FIR was also registered against him in that case in that case, so that he does not get bail," the police informed the court.

"Jain has been arrested under Sections 354, 506 and 509 of the Indian Penal Code and we are investigating the case further," official from Agripada police station told mid-day.
