An actor-producer from Gujarat was arrested in Mumbai for allegedly molesting a minor girl after luring her with an offer for a film role, police said on Dec 26.
The incident occurred late on Dec 25 when the 17-year old girl, also from Gujarat, was alone in a hotel room in the western suburbs.
The accused is known to the victim’s uncle and she met him hoping to get a break in films.
On Dec 25, finding her alone in the hotel room in Andheri, the actor-producer allegedly molested her. Later, the girl lodged a complaint with the DN Nagar police station in Andheri west.
A police team swooped onto the hotel where the accused was staying and arrested him. He has been charged under various sections of the IPC and POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act) and further probe is underway, according to the officials.
