Mumbai: A 30-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly chasing two girls returning from a tuition class in suburban Andheri in his friend's Mercedes car, police said on Tuesday.

According to news agency ANI, the accused man identified as Salman Quraishi, who hails from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh and had come to Mumbai to meet his friend, who lives in suburban Jogeshwari.

The police called up the number on the note and tracked its location through the phone's GPS. Senior Police Inspector Bandopant Bansode said the main suspect has been arrested, while the other one is on the run. “We have received information that he has fled to Uttar Pradesh and is in hiding. We have sent a team to track and arrest him,” said Mr Bansode.

The accused Salman Quraishi was arrested by the police, while the friend of the accused is on the run.

A case has been registered for stalking and other charges under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
