The Panvel Taluka police have booked a 25-year-old man for sexually assaulting a 40-year-old woman in a quarantine centre. They were quarantined by the Panvel Municipal Corporation as their family members tested positive.

According to the complaint filed by the survivor, she was taken to the quarantine centre, a 15-storey building on the outskirts of Panvel, a week ago. "About five days back, the man had gone to deliver food to his brother, quarantined on the fifth floor. He had knocked on the door of the wrong flat and found the woman quarantined alone," said an officer from Panvel Taluka police station.
