Pune: A 40-year-old businessman was arrested on charges of molesting and sending lewd messages to a 20-year-old medical student, with whom he allegedly had been in a relationship for the last six years. Salil Bhalchandra Nanal, who hails from Mumbai, was arrested yesterday evening for harassing the victim who studies in Solapur.
According to the complaint lodged, the victim was introduced to Nanal in 2005 through a social networking site.
They started chatting and later exchanged their phone numbers. As their friendship grew, mother of the victim came to know that Nanal was not only married but had kids. After the girl tried to snap all ties with him, Nanal threatened to kill her parents if she did not continue being friends.
On January 10, 2011, Nanal called up the victim again and asked her to meet him at Sambhaji Park on Jangli Maharaj road. It was then that he behaved in an objectionable manner with her in the car.
Police Inspector Manohar Joshi of Deccan police station said, "We have booked Nanal under sections 354 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and section 66(a) of the Information Technology Act, on charges of molesting, threatening and sending lewd messages to the woman. Nanal was traced at a location in Mumbai from where he was taken into custody."
During the six years of affair, Nanal used to intimidate the victim, threatening to blemish her image by showing all her messages to college friends if she snapped ties with him. Worried, her parents approached the women assistance cell in Police Commissionerate who counseled the girl. Nanal was warned and let off by the police for the first time.
