Four days ago, a young man had flashed at a woman in a running local train on the harbour line. The man was on the run and on Friday, Wadala police were successful in arresting 19-year-old accused Imran Sheikh. He was produced in the railway court where he was sentenced to 6-days in police custody.
On September 7, 2018, the victim boarded a Panvel-bound local train from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSTM) railway station. As the train started, accused Sheikh boarded the same compartment where the victim was present. As the local train left CSTM station, the victim screamed and Jitesh Utekar, who was present in the adjacent compartment, saw Sheikh flashing at the woman.
