Arrests in Kolkata Car Assault, Mumbai Groping as Pharma-Office FIR Opens Probe

Investigators cite CCTV evidence to drive arrests, with a new FIR opening a separate probe.

Overview

  • Kolkata police arrested Altaf Alam, 24, after a 28-year-old woman alleged she was drugged and molested in a moving car before being abandoned near Maidan, while two co-accused remain at large.
  • The survivor in Kolkata was treated at SSKM Hospital, her statement was recorded, and officers are reviewing CCTV footage to trace the vehicle and establish the sequence of events.
  • Mumbai police arrested Kuldeep Kanojia, 27, in the Goregaon groping case after scanning roughly 70–80 CCTV clips; officers said he confessed and a court has sent him to judicial custody.
  • The Mumbai complainant’s viral post also flagged unanswered emergency helpline calls, and senior officers said they will examine why her calls to control-room and women’s helplines were not received.
  • In a separate Mumbai case, an FIR at NM Joshi Marg names six pharma officials after a 51-year-old businesswoman alleged she was threatened at gunpoint, stripped and filmed in 2023, with police now conducting a formal investigation.
