Mumbai: A 59-year-old security guard has been arrested for molesting minor girls in Kandivali. The complaint was filed by a 30-year-old woman residing in the area. She reported that her friend, who also lives in Kandivali, has a five-year-old daughter. On May 25, while the girl was playing near her home, the security guard allegedly approached her and touched her inappropriately.
