Investigation
How did he enter the building?
A flat owner had previously told security to let his guests in without intercom confirmation. Post this, the security supervisor, Shyam Pandey, allowed the suspect in and directed him to park in the guest parking in basement 2. However, the man parked his car in basement 1 and was then redirected by another guard, Vijay Yadav. He later gave his car keys to a guard named Javed Nawad, claiming he needed to use the washroom.
Suspicious behavior
Inappropriate behavior caught on camera
After 10 minutes, the man said he wanted to go to an apartment on the 14th floor, but there was no response from the resident when security tried to confirm via intercom. He then insisted that he had to go to the 17th floor again. Sensing something was wrong, the security team escorted him out of the building. The next morning, they found the lift wasn't working, and CCTV footage further revealed his inappropriate behavior.
Update
Man identified, currently hospitalized
The Khar Police finally identified the accused using his car number. They found out that the accused is currently hospitalized. Once he is discharged, cops will continue their investigation into the mysterious man.
