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.
