A 14-year-old street dweller was allegedly molested by a 19-year-old man near PMPML’s Bibvewadi depot. The incident took place on Wednesday evening as the victim was coming out of a public toilet. The suspect, Santosh Bansode, allegedly pulled the girl inside a bus and molested her. After the victim’s eight-year-old brother came to know about the incident, he informed his parents about it. The mother then rescued the girl and handed over Bansode to the police. A case in this regard was registered at the Sahakarnagar police station. “We have arrested Bansode and he has been booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) 354,” said Police Sub-Inspector A P Jambure.
