Minor actress molesation case: Accused arrested by Sahar Police in Mumbai

The Sahar police on Sunday evening held the passenger who allegedly molested a 17-year-old actor on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai on Saturday night. The accused has been identified as Vikas Sachadev (39).

"We have arrested the accused and our further probe is on. We are checking if there is any CCTV footage in the flight," said Anil Kumbhare, Deputy Commissioner of police, Zone 8.

A minor actor  had alleged she was molested by a co-passenger on board a Delhi-Mumbai flight, prompting the Maharashtra State Commission for Women to seek an inquiry into the "shameful" incident. The airline also apologised to her for the incident and said it was carrying out a probe into it, while asserting that it has "zero tolerance" for such behaviour.

The minor actor said she was on a Vistara flight last night from Delhi to Mumbai when a co-passenger sitting behind her put up his feet on her armrest.

"So, I was in a flight travelling from Delhi to Mumbai today and right behind me one middle-aged man who made my two-hour journey miserable. I tried to record it on phone to understand it better because the cabin lights were dimmed, I failed to get it...," she said.
