On Thursday morning, on his way to the common toilet in the chawl, Abbasi spotted the girl outside her home. He lured her into the toilet and molested her. Before fleeing, he threatened to harm her if she spoke out. Scared, the girl went straight to school. In the evening, she narrated the incident to her family. On Friday, the family registered an FIR at the Worli police station. DCP Dhananjay Kulkarni (crime) said, &ldquo;Investigations revealed Abbasi is the prime suspect. We went to his home to arrest him but he had gone missing.&rdquo;
