Salman, son of Gulzar was identified as the suspect when the authorities examined the CCTV footage. Many police teams were assembled to search for him. On 7th June, he was seen standing at Roorkee Chungi. The police immediately raided the place based on the information received from informers. He tried to run away after he spotted the cops but was pursued and nabbed by them. Afterwards, he was brought to the police station and interrogated.
The perpetrator is a resident of Khalapar, a Muslim-dominated area of Muzaffarnagar city. He has reportedly been harassing the girls in the same way in the area for a long time. He not only used to touch their buttocks and flee but would also expose his private parts in public multiple times. He even put tape on the front and rear number plates of his motorcycle to protect himself from the clutches of the law.
It is also being claimed on social media that Salman kept a bottle of acid with him to scare girls. Notably, the footage following his arrest is also becoming viral on social media. Salman who was previously speeding on a bike, was forced to hang on the shoulders of two cops, owing to the major turn of events.
