Mumbai: In a shocking incident, a group of young men allegedly molested an 18-year-old girl in a broad daylight in the suburban Kandivali here, police said yesterday.
Shockingly, the hapless teenager, who was trying to save herself from the bunch of rowdies who almost stripped her, entered a restaurant for help but people there drove her out before she was finally rescued by a police constable on patrol and some passersby, police said.
The incident occurred at around 4:30 PM on Monday near Hindustan Naka, they said.
Three persons identified as Fayyaz Ahmed Khan, Saroj Khan and Naushad Khan were arrested yesterday and booked under section 354 (molestation) of Indian Penal Code.
The victim and her female friend reached Hindustan Naka in an autorickshaw from Bandra. However, while alighting they realised they did not have enough cash to pay the fare.
