<b>5Â youths detained for Gateway molestation</b>
By: Kiran Tare
January 4, 2007
The man on the phone said he could identify some of the men who molested a woman on New Year's eve at the Gateway of India. Refusing to identify himself, "I have seen the men at Tardeo Chawl at Narayan Nagar in Ghatkopar (W)."
Armed with this information and the January 2 Mid Day edition which carried the exclusive pictures by our photographer Shadab Khan, I went to the Chawl last night and asked for information on the men. But not a single person was forthcoming with any information.
I went to the Ghatkopar police station and told PSI Pritam Tupe about the phone call and my visit to the Chawl. The police said he would look into the matter and at 12 am, PSI Mohan Singh Rajput and six cops went to the Chawl armed with our paper and conducted house-to-house searches.
At 4.15 am, they detained Rizwan Shaikh (18), ironically dressed in the same red T-shirt. Shaikh provided the leads to the four other men in the picture who were present during the incident.
Their names are <b>Chand Ali Shah, 17, Adil Shiakh, 22, Abid Shaikh, 17 and Tabrez Khan, 15.</b>
They were taken to the Ghatkopar police station and their statements were recorded.
Unfortunately, as a formal complaint has yet not been lodged by the Colaba police station, the men cannot be arrested.
"We cannot keep them in custody for long without a complaint. They can only be detained and not arrested at this point," said Rajput.
Yesterday, the Commissioner of Police, AN Roy said that no action can be initiated in a molestation case without the victim filing an FIR.
When DCP Zone 1, Brijesh Singh was asked about this, he said, "There is a possibility of the victim not coming forward, in that case we will have to find some other way to take them to task."
All the detainees plead innocence. "We reached the Gateway of India at around 11.30 pm on December 31 and saw this fair tall boy who was shielding a girl, yelling for help. {<i>TFTA attack </i><!--emo&:omg--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/omg.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='omg.gif' /><!--endemo--> }
So, we pushed our way to them and tried to help the two. But, the pictures make us appear like the perverts," said Rizwan who can be seen in the pictures wearing a red shirt. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
