A visiting faculty of a city-based college reported a man she spotted masturbating outside one of the institute's gates over the weekend. She promptly took a picture of him and shared it with the Mumbai Police on Twitter. The Juhu cops were exemplary, arresting him within a couple of hours.

Just a few days earlier, this paper reported how an auto driver flashed a woman and masturbated. He was arrested. It was later found that he is a serial offender. In some of these and other incidents, men were making lewd gestures or surfing lewd pictures on their mobile phones within distance from their victims.
