Fatorda police took in custody a native of Jharkhand, who was accused for making advances towards a woman and a child in the Gogol Housing Board on Wednesday.
Fatorda PI Kapil Nayak said the police have detained the accused, who was working for a cable operator, under preventive detention.
Sources said the accused allegedly entered a household under the guise of checking the cable and was believed to have made advances towards the woman and a girl child. The woman, however, is reported to have slapped the accused, which forced him to make a retreat.
The accused was again called in the locality in the evening where he was questioned by the residents before the police took him into custody.
