Security in Navi Mumbai has been increased for the remaining matches of the Women’s World Cup 2025 after two Australian players were molested in Indore last week. Navi Mumbai will host two of the last three matches, including the final at DY Patil Stadium.

The incident happened on October 23 in Indore, when two Australian cricketers went to a café from their hotel. They were allegedly inappropriately touched by a man during the outing. The Australian team reported the incident, and police filed a case under Sections 74 (use of criminal force to outrage a woman’s modesty) and 78 (stalking) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The accused, Aqueel Sheikh, was arrested after a six-hour police operation and has been remanded for two days. Police said he also has a criminal record.
