A watchman of a plush residential complex in Amboli in Mumbai's Andheri area has been arrested for allegedly stalking a 14-year-old girl living there, police said on Sunday.

Police was approached by members of the housing society who had seen the 40-year-old watchman stalking the teen several times, an official said.

''However, when we contacted the girl's family, they refused to lodge a complaint. But we took cognizance of the incident, registered a case and arrested the man on Friday under POCSO and IPC provisions,'' he added. PTI ZA SRY
