The Navi Mumbai police seem to be hell-bent on guarding one of their own in a case of molestation. Six months after a 17-year-old's alleged molestation — caught on video — on her birthday, Navi Mumbai police are pursuing a property dispute between Deputy Inspector General (DIG) (Motor Transport, Pune) Nishikant More and the survivor's father.

Despite the girl's father submitting a complaint, cops steadfastly refuse to file an FIR. In the June 5 incident that took place at the survivor's residence in Taloja, Navi Mumbai this year, More scooped off cake from the 17-year-old's face and chest using his finger and licked it. The incident happened in front of both, the girl and More's family and was shot on a phone camera.
