MUMBAI: A serial molester captured on camera groping woman railway commuters twice, was released on bail after the women refused to press charges against him. Raziur Habibur Khan (37) works as a carpenter, and is a resident of Antop Hill.

Railway police initiated chapter proceedings against Khan. TOI was the first to report about the accused targetting woman commuters on railway foot over-bridges at Matunga. CCTVs captured him sexually harrassing a young woman around 8pm on January 25. The girl identified Khan, but did not press charges. The police checked footage from January 26, and found Khan harassing two middle-aged women on the bridge. They did not approach the police.

He was nabbed on Monday, after he picked a commuter's pocket. The police said that since a molestation case could not be filed against him suo moto, chapter proceedings had been initiated.
