“He also applied for an anticipatory bail during that period,” Singh said.
The incident took place on June 2 at the Jor Bagh station on the Yellow Line. The victim, a 21-year-old law student, shared details of the incident on social media, after which police took cognisance of the matter and registered a case.
In a series of tweets, the woman said she was sitting on a train when a stranger sought her help to locate an address. After helping him, she got off the train and sat on a platform to book a cab. The man then approached her and asked about the address once again and flashed her.
