Mumbai Man Arrested for Exposing Himself to Woman in Shared Taxi

Mumbai, 16th December 2024: Mumbai police arrested a 27-year-old man from Sion on Sunday for allegedly following and exposing himself to a woman inside a shared taxi in south Mumbai.

An officer explained, “Through the post, we contacted the victim, who mentioned that she had taken a shared taxi to a railway station. The accused, who sat next to her, then committed the inappropriate act.” The victim did not raise an alarm at the time due to fear but later confided in her friend.

The police suspect the accused had been following the woman before boarding the same cab. “After the case was filed, our teams tracked down the suspect’s brother, who was brought to the station,” said an officer. “From him, we learned that the accused, Dindayal Motiram Singh, hails from Uttar Pradesh and lives in the Sion Koliwada area.”

A team was sent to his home, and Singh was arrested early on Sunday.
