He was identified as Raigad native, Manoj Mohite, 39.

Around 12 pm on Saturday, the 39-year-old victim was walking towards Churchgate station when she sensed someone following her. She turned around to find a man in a waiter's outfit holding an umbrella. "When I looked at him, he pretended as if he was hunting for a building," she said.

What the police say
According to an officer from Marine Drive police station, "He was wearing a waiter's outfit so we took him there, but the employer said he was a temporary hire. Mohite claims when the woman saw him, he was urinating, not masturbating. We are checking the CCTVs to verify his claim." The police booked Mohite under IPC section 509 and produced him in a holiday court.
