Low Security At Metro Cinema Underpass
In one of the better-managed pedestrian subways of the city , a college girl was molested in the underpass at the Metro Cinema junction by a drug addict around noon on January 30.The incident came to light only on Saturday after her friends and parents convinced her to lodge a complaint.
The same day , the police arrested a 22-year-old, Mohammed Hussain, who was found loitering in the subway . “On Saturday , the survivor accompanied her mother to the subway after she insisted on visiting the spot. They found the accused loitering as if he was looking for a target. She immediately called the police and our team picked him up,“ said sub-inspector Rahul Mokhate of the Azad Maidan police station. The police said Hussain is from Vithalwadi, Thane; he is a drug addict and has confessed to the crime.
The incident has forced the city police to write to the BMC--which is in charge of the subway's administration--to improve lighting in the subway and increase security by also installing CCTV cameras. The survivor, a third-year degree college student, was heading home (Cuffe Parade) and used the subway to board a bus from the stop opposite Framjee Cawasjee Hall. It was a Saturday and the subway was almost deserted, a police officer said.
