Mumbai paedophile hunt leads police to Versova

MUMBAI: The crime branch is working on a tip that the suspect in the series of paedophilia cases in the city is from the slums in Versova, an area in Andheri where the first of the 13 offences lodged against the paedophile was committed.

A special investigation team (SIT) is working on another lead, combing Goregaon east and west as informers told the police the suspect was from these areas.

The hunt for the suspect involves two teams and a battery of informers armed with sketches of the suspect.

"We are showing
the photographs to locals, various vendors and milkmen, hoping to get some clues," an officer said.

The crime branch has also sought the help of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) to get the CCTV picture of the suspect's face enhanced.

The last time the crime branch had taken such kind of help from the ATS was when it wanted the picture of the suspect enhanced in the techie Esther Anuhya rape and murder case.

Even as the SIT comprising around three dozen police officers headed by deputy commissioner of police Ambadas Potte is on the job, source said policemen from all western zone police stations had been told to put in extra efforts to identify the suspect.

A majority of the sexual offences against children took place in the western suburbs.

The police were also checking their records to see if any person fitting the paedophile's profile had been arrested in the past. The police circulated the CCTV footage of the suspect from the recent Sion and the previous Sahar Road, Andheri, incidents.

There is also a reward for helping catch the suspect. "We have been promised a handsome cash reward if our tips get the molester arrested," a police informer, Imran Khan, said.

A team of the crime branch is collecting data records from cellphone towers in Sion, Wadala, Antop Hill, RAK Marg, Amboli and DN Nagar in Andheri to find if a common number was active at all these places.

In the latest case from Sion, a Class VI girl was lured to an isolated spot by the paedophile while she was playing near her home and sexually assaulted.
