The Government Railway Police arrested a man for allegedly harassing a 25-year-old woman, who was waiting to board a train at Nahur railway station. The incident came to light after the woman raised an alarm and managed to nab the molester.

According to a report in Times of India, the incident took place on March 12 at around 9.15 am when the victim was waiting at the end of platforms 1-2 of Nahur railway station. Police officials said the accused, identified as Bhanudas Kedar (50), works in a tea manufacturing company as a deliveryman.

"The platform was not too crowded when Kedar came and stood near the victim and after some time, he started to flash her. The victim was stunned and confided in a fellow traveller. When Kedar tried to escape, the woman raised an alarm. Soon, passersby gathered and caught Kedar," a police official said.

The accused was handed over to Kurla GRP and a case was registered under Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). On Saturday, he was produced before a railway court.
