"The youths dropped her at the highway near Nagothane village. On seeing her stranded, NCP Nagothane city unit chief Santosh Mandavkar offered her a lift and said he will drop her home in suburban Borivali.

But, instead took her to a garage on the highway and allegedly molested her in a car," DSP, Roha, Amol Zende said. A case has been registered against Mandavkar yesterday under IPC sections under 354 (A)(B) (sexual harassment), section 506 (criminal intimidation) and other relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, he said.

Mandavkar is at large and police has launched a manhunt to nab him, he added.
