The Gamdevi police have arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly stalking and molesting a college student near her campus in South Mumbai. The suspect, Mohammed Muzammil, an electrician from the Nagpada area, faces charges under the BNS section for molestation and outraging the modesty of a woman.

According to the authorities, the incident occurred on Wednesday, when the student visited a nearby photocopy shop, located just a short distance from her college, to print some notes. While she was at the shop, she noticed Muzammil staring at her, which made her feel uneasy. As she left the shop and walked back towards her college, the accused reportedly approached and inappropriately touched her.
