In a chilling incident in Vasai, a 32-year-old woman was attacked by a 7 feet tall assailant

The incident occurred on the World Cup final day at 1:30 am in Tungareshwar gully.

The alleged assailant, Sandeep Khot, 35, approached the woman from behind under the cover of darkness, pushed her to the ground, and covered her mouth threatening to rape her. A stray dog in the vicinity started barking at the accused, alarming him which caused his grip to loosen. Seizing the opportunity, the woman pushed the assailant away and escaped.

While the assailant fled with her iPhone, the woman’s quick thinking and the dog’s intervention saved her from further harm.

Sandeep Khot was arrested within 24 hours of the incident and was taken into police custody.
