An auto-rickshaw driver Rajbahadur Pal was arrested by police on Friday, 24 August, for allegedly masturbating in front of a girl passenger who took the rickshaw from Malad for her residence in Borivali on 22 August.

The incident came to light after the girl narrated the sequence of events on her Facebook status, followed by a tweet to Mumbai police.

According to the girl’s post on Facebook, she was on her way to home when the rickshaw driver started masturbating in front of her.

“I took a rickshaw from Infiniti mall, Malad to Borivali. I was texting my colleagues until I reached Kandivali and then a friend called and I got busy with that. I noticed the auto guy started touching his crotch, almost like he's adjusting whatever there is,” the girl’s post read.

“It happened once, then twice, but I legit thought maybe he's just uncomfortable and is only trying to sit comfortably. But it was happening far too often so I told my friend on call about it. Right then, I took a turn in a lane that's relatively empty at this time of the hour and the rickshaw got slower and his movements only got faster, it's then that I realized he's probably masturbating,” the post read.

The girl was two minutes away from home and explained that before she could even reach there, he parked the rickshaw, pulled his pants down and started masturbating in front of her.

The case was registered on the morning of Thursday, 23 August, and the rickshaw driver was arrested on Friday night from Borivali.
