Man arrested for allegedly masturbating in front of actor Sumeet Raghavan's wife
Sumeet Chinmayee
The actor filed a complaint at the Vile Parle Police station soon after the incident took place and the man was nabbed within two hours.
Mumbai police arrested a driver on Monday for allegedly masturbating in front of TV actor Sumeet Raghavan's wife, Marathi actress Chinmayee Surve Raghavan.
Raghavan had filed a complaint at the Vile Parle Police Station and the Mumbai Traffic Police after the incident took place. The Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actor sought help to trace the culprit who was in a white BMW with the last four registration digits as 1985, a news agency reported.
"The driver wearing a grey safari who had parked near the Parle Tilak Vidyalaya School in Vile Parle east got off his car and started masturbating in front of my wife. Before she could slap him, he escaped. She could note down just the last four digits," he posted on Facebook and Twitter.
Raghavan added that the person needed to be found as there are schoolgirls in that area and he must have done this to them as well. The man was arrested within two hours of Raghavan filing the complaint, the actor confirmed on Twitter later.
"Yes, we have detained the 42-year old driver of the vehicle, identified as Jivan Choudhary and further investigations are underway," Vile Parle police chief, Senior Police Inspector Laxman Chawan told the news agency.
Raghavan is an actor for the past 35 years with several teleserials and Marathi and Hindi films to his credit including Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, while Chinmayee is also an acclaimed Marathi stage, teleserial and film actress.
