According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the accused is a resident of Nallasopara and is employed with the film industry. It further stated that the victim had only recently joined the police force, and was doing her duty at a religious function in Worli.
A police source informed Mumbai Mirror, "The incident took place between 10 pm and 11pm on Tuesday. The accused had molested the constable while pretending to be in a hurry to get past the crowd. He touched her inappropriately and tried to run away." The woman constable, however, immediately alerted her colleague, who nabbed the man.
