A Gym Trainer Arrested for Multiple Sexual Assault Cases in Chandigarh
A 28-year-old gym trainer named Sawan Bhatti has been arrested in Chandigarh for his alleged involvement in 11 cases of sexual assault. The police were able to track him down after verifying nearly 1,000 white Activa scooters across the Tricity, one of which he used during the crime incidents.
Background and Arrest
Bhatti, who holds a BSc degree in computer science, works at a gym in Mohali and resides with a live-in partner in Chandigarh. He was sent to judicial custody but was later taken on a production warrant in a separate FIR. Sarita Roy, the SHO of the police station at Sector 17 Chandigarh, stated that the accused has been involved in a series of sexual assault incidents.
Details of the Crime
One of the victims, a young woman from Sector 16, reported an incident that occurred in a park in Sector 16-A. The victim was sitting alone in the park when the power went out, prompting her to leave while on a phone call with a friend. Suddenly, a man grabbed her from behind, covered her mouth, and dragged her to the side of the road. He demanded her gold chain and proceeded to sexually assault her when she revealed she had nothing valuable.
The victim’s friend heard her scream on the phone call and raised an alarm. The victim then approached the police with her parents, leading to the filing of an FIR. Another similar case was reported at the Sector 11 police station on a later date.
Investigation and Arrest
Police began investigating the matter by scrutinizing CCTV footage of various areas where the accused was spotted riding a white Activa scooter. After verifying nearly 1,000 similar white scooters in the Tricity, officers spotted a Honda Activa matching the features captured in a CCTV camera. A coordinated operation led to Bhatti’s arrest at the Sector 16/23 dividing road.
During interrogation, Bhatti confessed to being involved in multiple sexual assault incidents in the city. He admitted to targeting solitary women near parks after 10 pm and covering his face with a black handkerchief to avoid identification.
Conclusion
The arrest of Sawan Bhatti has brought some closure to the victims of the sexual assault cases in Chandigarh. The police’s diligent investigation and coordination led to the apprehension of the accused, who will now face the consequences of his actions in a court of law. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of swift and thorough police work in ensuring justice for victims of such heinous crimes..
