The Mumbai cops were in for a surprise after they arrested a eunuch for allegedly molesting a 24-year-old woman from Kandivli East, on Sunday. The arrest of the accused identified as Subhash Sainise revealed that he begged on the streets disguised as a eunuch and part of a gang based in Kalwa , whose modus operandi was to beg and commit crimes.

According to the police, Sainise, who hails from Jalagaon, has been staying in Kalwa along with his wife and six daughters for the past three years. The victim told the cops that Sainise molested her on the pretext of offering blessings. A police officer said, "The accused has been arrested under section 354 of IPC and remanded in police custody."

During interrogation, Sainise told the police that earlier his wife and he used to work in their landlord's farm. But three years back when he was diagnosed with a number of ailments, he stopped the work and moved to Mumbai in search of a job. A police officer said, "He used to do odd jobs in the city to run his house and bear his medical expenses.

He underwent three surgeries, but after the third one, doctors asked him to stop any kind of laborious work." Sainise's wife Chanda, who is aware that her husband begs disguised as a eunuch, said, "Our financial condition is very poor. Raising six children has become a major issue. Even my husband's health is in bad shape."
