Mumbai: Police today arrested three more persons accused of molesting and almost stripping an 18-year-old girl on a street in suburban Kandivali (West) in broad daylight, taking the total number of arrested so far to six.
The three accused nabbed today were Habib (19) and two minors, police said.
Police had yesterday arrested Fayyaz Ahmed Khan, Saroj Khan and Naushad Khan, all in their twenties, and booked them under section 354 (molestation) of the Indian Penal Code.
Shockingly, when the girl, trying to escape the molesters, entered a restaurant, the people there drove her out before she was finally rescued by a police constable on patrolling duty and some passersby.
"The victim's friend, whose relative stays nearby, went to the house to borrow some cash while the victim waited in the rickshaw," said a police officer.
Some young men who were playing cricket nearby went to the spot and started teasing the girl. When the girl began to walk away, they chased her, caught her and tried to strip her, according to the officer.
Her ordeal ended when some motorists stopped and rescued her by driving off the men. A beat marshal constable also reached the spot and took one of the youths into custody.
