A early-morning assault in Ahmedabad's Khanpur area triggered alarm after a man intercepted a young working woman returning home from a Navratri Garba event and sexually harassed her near Shahpur.
The victim, who resides in Khanpur with her family, was walking home alone around 6:00 AM on Navami after playing street Garba near her house. The suspect, identified as Nimesh, waited at the entrance of her lane and blocked her path, insisting she enter into a friendship with him. When the woman refused, the accused reacted violently.
Immediate Resistance Forces Suspect to Flee
Upon her refusal, Nimesh grabbed her, sexually assaulted her, and made obscene physical demands. The victim raised an alarm, shouting for help and drawing the attention of a nearby woman resident who rushed to the scene. Caught off guard by the witness, Nimesh fled the spot immediately.
The distressed victim reached home in a state of shock and initially went to sleep without disclosing the ordeal to her family.

By afternoon, noticing her persistent fear, the victim's mother questioned her, prompting the woman to narrate the entire morning incident.
Accompanied by her family, the victim lodged a formal complaint at the Shahpur Police Station. Shahpur police registered a criminal case against Nimesh and initiated a search operation to arrest the fleeing suspect.
