A special court this week sentenced a man to one year in jail for flashing at a 16-year-old girl in the first class compartment of a local train.

The incident took place on September 18, 2018, when the girl was traveling from CSMT railway station around 2.40pm after attending college in South Mumbai to her home in Navi Mumbai. She entered the first class compartment but no passengers were present. The accused entered the compartment and sat across from her. He then flashed at her and made obscene gestures. She began shouting and called the police dialling 100, who then caught the accused at the next station and arrested him. The accused, identified as Ganesh Shete, was booked under relevant sections including the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
