Iraqi man held for molesting women in Gurgaon

A 42-year-old Iraqi national has been arrested here for molesting two women at a private hospital, police said Tuesday.

Mushtaq Munir Shakir Alsaf, who works as a police driver in Iraq, allegedly molested a 45-year-old woman Monday night in the lift of a hospital in Sector 51.

"The man molested a woman who lives here in Sector 5. He has been booked on charges of criminal force with an intent to outrage a woman's modesty," Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Rajesh Kumar told IANS.

The Iraqi man was in the hospital as his uncle was admitted there for cancer treatment for over a month.

The woman's son is also being treated in the same hospital.

The woman first complained to a woman security guard at the hospital. The woman guard said she was also molested by the same man.

The matter was then reported to police who arrested the man.

He was Tuesday presented before a district court and sent to judicial custody, police said.
