A 40-year-old man arrested for sexually assaulting a stray female dog on a foot over-bridge (FOB) at Wagle Estate in the evening on Tuesday.

According to the report in TOI, Aditi Nair initially approached the Thane Policemen who hesitated to added the man at first. After that, she approached Thane Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar. “He (Phansalkar) strictly told the concerned police to immediately act and make an airtight case,” Nair told TOI.
