In a shocking case, a pervert had flashed his private parts and ejaculated on a housewife in the bustling Churchgate area in broad daylight on Thursday. While the victim was completely unaware of the indecent act, an alert car driver who was at the spot had filmed the entire incident on his mobile phone. He then informed the victim and got the accused arrested.

The arrested person has been identified as Hariram Bishnoi, 48, a resident of Aambewadi in Kalachowkie area.

According to police, the 30-year-old complainant, a resident of CP Tank had visited Churchgate on Thursday around 3.20pm to meet a few relatives and was standing on a footpath opposite Churchgate Railway Station, busy talking to her relatives.

"While the victim was busy talking to her relatives, an unknown middle-aged man came very close to her. After some time when the victim realised that the man is too close to her, she left the place and moved ahead. The victim also realised that something had fallen on her dress, and the man who was close to her earlier had left too," said an officer from Azad Maidan police station.

He added, as the family was about to leave the place, a motor car driver who was sitting inside a car parked at the spot, stopped them and showed the clip which he had filmed. "In the said clip it could be clearly seen that the man who was standing very close to the victim had flashed his private part and had ejaculated on the victim's dress. She then transferred it to her phone," the officer said.

The victim and her relatives managed to nab the pervert nearby and called the police control room. Both the victim and Bishnoi were then brought to the Azad Maidan police station. A case under section 354A (sexual harassment), and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) was then registered against the latter.

"On interrogation, Bishnoi admitted to having committed the act. We then informed his family about the incident and secured the victim's mobile phone in which the act was filmed as evidence The victim's clothes will also be sent for forensic testing to bolster our case. Bishnoi is jobless and loiters around to kill his time," the officer said.
