A 25-year-old van driver has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl. The incident took place on Thursday evening when the driver was dropping the student to her home in Mulund from her school in Airoli. The accused was produced before the court on Friday and has been remanded in police custody.  

Police officers said that when the minor’s aunt picked her up from the bus stop around 6 pm as usual, she found the child crying. After reaching home, the student told her mother that the van driver touched her inappropriately and also wrote down his phone number on her notebook.
