After being arrested for a molestation attempt on two minor girls in
Delhi, Sunil Rastogi, a 38-year-old tailor, confessed that he had sexually abused around 500 kids almost unchecked over 12 years.
According to the police, he claimed to have attempted assault on more than 2,500 minors during this period and was jailed for six months in
Rudrapur,
Uttarakhand, for an offence in 2006.
Rastogi used to target victims in Delhi, Western UP and
Uttarakhand, and most of his targets were girls walking home from school, police said. He had worked for some time at a tailor shop in east Delhi and used to frequently return to the area looking for work.
Police have now linked Rastogi to six cases, three in Delhi, two in
Rudrapur and one in
Bilaspur district.
