The Unsettling Encounter
The distressing sequence of events unfolded as a man riding a black scooter relentlessly followed the woman. Initially stopping in front of Utsav Home Society, he insisted that the woman accompany him. When she refused, he continued to follow her on his scooter, even after halting near Suryadutt College. In a deeply disturbing turn of events, the suspect approached the woman and inappropriately touched her while still on his scooter.

After a month-long investigation, the team set a trap and discreetly observed a suspected Scooty Pept vehicle driver. Upon confrontation, the suspect confessed to the crime and was apprehended on October 16, 2023.
Acknowledging Success
