Case details

As per police records, the complainant is a store manager at a Health and Glow outlet in Aziz Bagh Colony, Tolichowki. Twelve women work at the store which has a glass façade towards the street.

On October 18 evening, the complainant noticed a middle-aged person standing in front of the store. The person came in a black Activa wearing a helmet, an off-white colour shirt and a black pant. Suddenly, he opened the zipper and started masturbating in clear view of the store employees. The women immediately raised an alarm and informed the police. The person left soon after.

The police visited the spot and took the details of the accused. This was the second such case reported in two days in Filmnagar. People have raised complaints of coming across the same indecent act at the International School bus stop in Shaikpet.

Going by the accused's description in both cases, the police confirmed it was the same person.

The police searched the CCTV footage in the area and found the person who matched the accused’s description. The person was arrested and identified as Bhuthkuri Ramesh, a chef at Jelly Belly Food.

He told the police, he married in 2019 and also has a baby. His wife has been staying away for six months due to his porn addiction which also made him commit obscene and objectionable acts in public before women. On verifying his mobile phone, his Internet browsing history showed many porn videos and links.

The accused has been arrested and a case has been registered.
