On the other hand, a phone thief who was mistaken as a molester was arrested by Mumbai police after a 25-year old woman approached Mumbai Central GRP to register a complaint when she realized her 80,000 Rs phone was missing.
The incident took place when she was on her way to work in the general local compartment. Initially, passengers had mistaken him for being a molester as he was seen fidgeting with her handbag. There was a scuffle between passengers and the man stole her phone. After stealing her phone, he managed to slip out just in time.
