The GRP have detained Sandeep Shambu Shete, 38, a resident of Tank Road in Bhandup. The incident came to light when Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena leader Pritam Jadhav, who also takes a morning train from Bhandup, received complaints about a man taking pictures of female commuters. He accordingly laid a trap, and caught hold of Shete when he was in the midst of the act near the ladies compartment. Jadhav, along with a few fellow commuters took Shete to the Kurla GRP police station. "We found around 400 pictures of several women on his phone" said Jadhav.
