The accused will be produced in court today. In the past, four non-cognisable (NC) complaints were registered against the accused, Manjit Tilak, but each time he was released after being given a warning. Yesterday, more than 11 women went to the Borivli police station and registered their protest against the accused by filing NCs. One of the victims said, &ldquo;Whenever we pass by the road, he uses very abusive language. He even spits at us. Once he assaulted some children in the area. But he was especially a terror for women. Sometimes, he blocks our way and then uses utterly filthy language.&rdquo; Another victim said, &ldquo;We have made several complaints against him at the Borivli police station, but he is always released with a warning. We therefore demand that he should be arrested and punished. He has been harassing us for one year. Several women in the area are terrified of him.&rdquo; Copspeak Sub-Inspector Umesh Sawant of the Borivli police station said, &ldquo;The accused Tilak has been charged under Section 509 [word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman] of the IPC. He will be produced in the Borivli court on Saturday. He says that he is a businessman, but we have to verify whether that is true.&rdquo; Another victim said, &ldquo;He may have been arrested, but I fear that after he is released on bail, he&rsquo;ll come back to exact revenge on us.&rdquo;u00a0
