Pune: Man arrested for molesting woman on PMPML bus

A 26-year-old man, identified as Prabhat Kumar Tiwari from Kurli Phata, Chakan, has been arrested by the police for allegedly molesting a young woman while they were travelling on a Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd  (PMPML) bus. The incident unfolded during a bus journey from Bhosari to Pune station, where the 20-year-old victim was accompanied by a friend.

Alarmed and distressed, the victim sought assistance from the police, subsequently filing a formal complaint. Prabhat Kumar Tiwari has been apprehended, and the case is currently under investigation by Sub-Inspector Waghmare.
