Two men were arrested on Friday night for attempting to molest a woman and making obscene gestures at her on the Sabarmati Riverfront. The swift police action followed the woman’s Instagram post documenting the incident.
Maitreyee Davda, the complainant, recorded a video of the accused and also noted their two-wheeler’s details and the time of the incident. Soon after she posted the video online, Constable Vikramsinh Parmar spotted it and informed DCP Zone-1 Safin Hasan, who immediately directed action.
According to a media report, PSI H B Gadhvi used CCTV footage and the video to identify and arrest the accused. They were later handed over to the Riverfront West Police.
“Maitreyee Davda showed great courage by sharing the incident on social media. Such awareness helps in catching offenders quickly,” said DCP Hasan.
