Since the time an FIR was registered against him for molesting a minor girl, Nishikant More, the Director-General of Maharashtra Police, has been untraceable. This revelation came after the Taloja police charged the top cop under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and sent a team of officers to his Kharghar and Pune residences but could not find him.

An FIR was registered against the DIG under sections of IPC and POCSO on Tuesday after recording the fresh statement of the minor girl. The DIG has been accused of molesting his friend's minor daughter at a birthday party this year in June and on several other occasions, as per the FIR.
