An unidentified man, believed to be in his early 30s, has been stalking women living in upscale South Mumbai (SoBo) buildings. He allegedly trespasses into these buildings, masturbates, and locks the victims’ doors from the outside before leaving the area, only to target another woman during afternoon hours.
 
Local residents fear that this “sex pest” could also target international tourists frequenting the areas near the Gateway of India and Colaba Causeway. Over the past 15 days, at least three to four women have reportedly been stalked by this individual, according to residents. He appears to target women who are alone in the Colaba Causeway and nearby areas, particularly in the post-lunch hours.

“We learned that one of the victims had called the Mumbai police when this creep stalked her. Although two constables arrived at her doorstep, no action was taken. If the police had arrested him that day, he wouldn’t have been able to harass other women in Colaba,” said Parvez Cooper, a local social activist, speaking to mid-day.
