MUMBAI: Dindosh police arrested a serial molester on Tuesday for allegedly stalking and sexually harassing a young woman at Malad East.
Kalpesh Devdhare (30) has 12 past offences registered against him, nine of which are for molestation and inappropriate behaviour with women. Devdhare is a driver by profession and lives at Charkop.
On December 11, a woman was at a market in Navjala Pada in Malad (East) when Devdhare began to stalk her on a bike and later forcibly hugged her. On Tuesday, he was picked up from Kandivli and produced before a magistrate court.
"He was booked in the past by Chunabhatti, Goregaon, Parksite, D N Nagar, Dindoshi, Kandivli, Pant Nagar, Bangur Nagar and Powai police on charges of molestation, extortion and kidnapping. We suspect he may have committed more crimes and appeal to complainants to come forward," said senior inspector Dharnendra Kamble.
