Mumbai: Man convicted for forcibly kissing teen

Mumbai: A Mumbai court sentenced a 25-year-old man to a year of rigorous imprisonment for forcibly trying to kiss a 19-year-old woman on the platform of Khar railway station in June 2022.

The accused was held by police and booked under section 354 of IPC.

According to the prosecution case on June 9 last year, when the victim was waiting for a local train at Khar railway station, the man came from behind and tried to kiss her. She shouted in alarm. Fellow commuters caught him and thrashed him up before handing him over to the police.

The police took the accused and the victim to Bandra police station where the teen lodged a complaint.

The man was booked under Sec 354 of the Indian Penal Code (assault or criminal force on a woman with intent to outrage modesty).

Metropolitan Magistrate BK Gawande said ruled that the evidence of the informant clearly established that criminal force was used upon her by the accused with the intention and knowledge that by doing such an act, the modesty of the informant would certainly be outraged.
