Accused of molesting a woman near the Saki Naka Metro station, a 32-year-old man was arrested while he was planning to flee to his native in Kerala. The accused was identified as Sharad Shivankutty Nair, a resident of Thiruvananthapuram.

According to the Andheri police, the incident took place at around 6.30pm on Sunday when the 25-year-old complainant was entering the Metro station. At that moment, Nair suddenly came from behind, groped the woman and fled the spot.
