A 30-year-old Indian-origin man in New Zealand was today accused of assaulting two teenage girls while traveling in Intercity buses.
Dhaval Kadam, who lives in central Auckland, has been charged with two counts of indecent assault against the girls while they were passengers on Northliner Intercity buses, the New Zealand Herald reported today.
The first incident occurred on August 28 when the man assaulted a 16 year-old girl who was traveling in a bus between central Auckland and Paihia. The next assault took place the following day to a 17 year-old girl who was on a journey between Kerikeri and Whangarei.
Police have sought information from anyone that could assist them in the investigation. They believe Kadam has traveled on buses between Auckland City and Kawakawa and Northland, in both August and early September.
Kadam made his first appearance in the North Shore District Court earlier this month, where he was remanded on bail until December 4, the paper reported.
