Mumbai, Maharashtra: A 27-year-old man from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, was arrested by Gamdevi police for allegedly flashing at a 20-year-old woman in a shared taxi, an incident that was caught on video and widely circulated on social media. The accused, identified as Dindayal Motiram Singh, was apprehended in his hometown following a swift investigation.

The incident occurred on November 30, 2024, when the woman was traveling from Kambala Hill to Grant Road Railway Station.

Singh, a snack vendor residing in Mumbai's Sion Koliwada for the past decade, was apprehended after a Gamdevi police team traveled to Agra. He was presented before the court today, as the investigation continues.
