A 21-year-old woman faced a frightening ordeal in Dadar East late on Tuesday, when a man blocked her path, called her “didi”, and allegedly flashed a pornographic video on his phone before fleeing. Police arrested the accused, Ajay Kumar Puretorei, 20, within 48 hours.
The woman, who had reached Dadar station around 11.40 pm after work, was walking towards Hindu Colony — an isolated, poorly lit stretch — when the man abruptly stopped in front of her and thrust his phone forward. Shocked, she shouted, and he immediately ran off.
The woman rushed home, informed her family, and lodged a complaint at the Matunga police station. Police traced the accused through CCTV footage from nearby, eventually arresting him on Thursday for outraging modesty and displaying obscene material in public. His background is being verified. DCP (Zone 4) Ragasudha R confirmed the arrest and said the investigation is progressing.
