On November 1, the accused, believed to be in his twenties, allegedly molested the Russian national, who is married to a Borivli resident.

The woman, who has been staying with her husband in the area for a few months, filed a complaint with the police on Saturday.

Around 10pm, the woman was on her way home in an auto. She got down near her building and started walking. She noticed a man following her.

In her complaint, the woman said the accused followed her for some distance and made a remark at her. When the woman ignored him and tried to tell him off, he groped her. The woman put up a fight when he touched her inappropriately.

“She tried to push him off and raised an alarm. Hearing her scream, passers-by rushed to her aid. The accused managed to run away,” said the police.

A source said after recording the woman’s statement, they created a sketch of the suspect, based on the description she gave them.
