Mumbai: A 39-year-old pilot of a private airline was arrested last night by the Samta Nagar police in Kandivli after he was accused of molesting an eight-year-old girl.
According to the police, this was not the first time that Udham Rawat had committed such a crime, but this time the girl's father registered a complaint at Samta Nagar police station and got him arrested.
Rawat who lives in the A wing of Oberoi Park in Samta Nagar was passing through the main compound of his building. The incident occurred when Rawat asked his maid to lure the girl under the pretext of offering chocolates to the child. Not doubting the intentions of her neighbour, the victim reached Rawat's apartment.
Rawat then caught hold of her and allegedly began touching her private parts and fondling her.
The police told MiD DAY that the girl told her father about the incident and he registered a complaint with the police. Senior Inspector A Kenjale said, "The pilot has been released on bail and the investigation is going on."
The girl's father said, "Thank God my daughter is safe and nothing major has happened. But the police should arrest the maid too, as she is also involved in the crime."
Rawat is separated from his wife and stays alone in his apartment. His neighbours say that they found Rawat's behaviour strange but never expected that he could do something of this sort.
