Auto Driver Takes 24-Year-Old Nurse To Isolated Area In Mumbai, Flashes Himself To Her

Mumbai: Mumbai police have arrested an autorickshaw driver for allegedly molesting a 24-year-old nurse.

The auto-rickshaw driver reportedly took the nurse to an isolated place where he stopped the vehicle and flashed himself to her.

The arrest was made on Saturday and he was produced in a local magistrate court on Sunday.

According to police, the complainant, a 24-year-old nurse, who is employed at Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri (West), was on night duty on February 16 and was returning home the next morning. While she was waiting for the bus at the stop, an auto-rickshaw driven by Dinesh Chaurasia approached the nurse to drop her off at the Andheri railway station.

Police said that the accused offered to release her on sharing rate, after which she agreed.

Instead of taking the nurse to the police station, Chaurasia took the nurse to a secluded place on Gulmohar Road, where he stopped the three-wheeler and went to see the woman. When she started screaming and ran away, he raped the nurse and later ran away.

Meanwhile, the nurse noted down the number of the auto, after which she contacted the Juhu police.

After this, acting on the complaint, after registering a case of molestation against the driver, Chaurasia was arrested from Kandivali on the basis of information sought from the Regional Transport Office. He was produced in the local magistrate’s court and remanded to police custody.
