MUMBAI, Dec. 10 -- A 54-year-old auto rickshaw driver from Kandivali was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly molesting a 17-year-old girl in his auto and pushing her off the running vehicle when she shouted for help. According to the police, the incident took place around 4:00 pm on Monday, when the girl, a student of a college in Malad, was waiting for a rickshaw at SV Road, to return home after college hours. "She got into the accused's auto and told him that she wanted to go to Orlem in Malad West. He asked her to sit in the middle of the rickshaw, saying road work was going on and the auto would tilt to a side if she sat on one side. He then took the rickshaw in the wrong direction and stared at the girl through the mirror of the rickshaw. He winked at her two or three times and made obscene gestures," said police inspector Tushar Salunkhe. The girl got scared and asked him to stop the auto immediately, when the driver sped up the vehicle. She then started shouting for help, after which the accused pushed her out of the moving rickshaw, he added. The girl told the police that she then called her sister, who took her to a nearby hospital, as she was injured after being pushed. The girl's mother then approached the Malad Police and reported the incident, after which a case was registered against the auto driver under relevant sections of the BNS and the POCSO Act. The police said they identified the auto rickshaw through CCTV footage. The driver, Keshav Prasad Yadav, 54, a resident of Laljipada in Kandivali West, was caught from Mathuradas Road after a few hours of search, where he was sleeping in the rickshaw....
