Suresh Prabhu calls for strict action against youth caught masturbating in Mumbai local

Mumbai : Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has vowed strict action against a man who was allegedly caught masturbating at 22-year-old Pooja Nair in a Mumbai local.

“I have ordered enquiry in the matter. Strict action will be taken against the guilty,” Prabhu tweeted.

Pooja Nair, who was travelling in the train, narrated the whole incident via her social media page. 

“There are many mentally challenged people who travel on the train regularly and I’m used to many of them cursing, so I thought him to be one of them and let it go. The split second where our eyes locked, he took the chance to come to me. He came to my side of the compartment and put his hands through just like he had done before. He called me the same, another 6-10 times.”

“Meanwhile, he puts his hand down, whips out his penis and grins at me, he starts masturbating,” she wrote in her post.

She also mentioned a ruthless behaviour by Railway Police officials who allegedly laughed off the incident while Pooja tried to report it via helpline number.

“I told the person on the line all the details. The train was just approaching Kandivli. Which compartment, what time. All of it. Then I told him that this person had also called us what he did. And then the person on the helpline laughed. He found it funny,” Pooja said.
