In her statement to the police, the girl said around 10 am, she went to her neighbour's house for ask for charger. She told the police that Shrivastav took her to his bedroom on the pretext of showing her a charger.
Suddenly, he started molesting her. "The girl freed herself from his grip and started running out, but Shrivastav caught her again. He held her in a tight embrace and touched her private parts," said an officer from Kapurbawdi police station.
The minor girl, who has appeared for her HSC exams, then somehow managed to break free from the clutches of the pervert and darted towards her home. She then narrated the entire incident to her parents, following which they approached the police, leading to Shrivastav's arrest.

A cop from Kapurbawdi police station said, "We have taken the statements of the girl as well as her parents. The accused is a businessman and he had one held her hand. Further probe is on."
