Shiv is a graduate and aspiring chartered accountant. He said, "For my CA classes I have to travel every day from Akurdi to Kasarwadi. On Saturday night I was heading back home from class when a gang of four youth came towards me and claimed that I had molested their sister. I pleaded for help but no one helped thinking that I might be involved in a molesting case."

He added, "The four pulled me out of the train and thrashed me. Later they took my wrist watch and demanded money when I refused to give my mobile handset. I had only Rs 50 in my pocket. They took my cell phone and demanded Rs 3,000 from my father saying after that I would be released. They told him to keep the money in a box at Pimpri railway junction and later released me." According to GRP, "We are probing the case and soon we shall arrest this gang."
