Recently, the police arrested a serial molester with nothing to go on but his shadow on CCTV footage. The accused allegedly molested three women in a span of a couple of months, our report said. The molester targeted lone women while he was riding a motorcycle. As he passed by them, he would touch their chest or back and then vanish.

The suspect, police sources said, is a 25-year-old electrician, and he committed these crimes in the vicinity of a police station. The police relied on certain minor clues, but a big factor was the CCTV surveillance; many times, only a shadow was visible in the footage, even the motorbike’s number plate was not clear, by which he was caught. This shows that our CCTV surveillance across the city, must be up to speed, as it is a vital factor in crime detection and nabbing the accused.
