Mumbai: Police commissioner Rakesh Maria has set up a special investigating team to track down a paedophile, who has 13 offences registered against him at six police stations in the last six months. The crime branch has detained two suspects on suspicion and is interrogating them. 
    “I have asked the crime branch to nab the child molestor within 10 days. We will release his sketch and photograph hoping that someone from the public will help us nab him,” said Maria. 
    The directive comes two days after a 13-year-old girl from Sion said that a man, who has “a white spot in the eye”, took her to an isolated spot near her house and sexually abused her. Her parents lodged a complaint with the police, who got an image of the offender from a CCTV camera. 
    On Wednesday, the SIT officials visited the Antop Hill, Wadala, Amboli, RAK Marg, Andheri and Dahisar police to verify if the description of the offender in the Sion case matches those in the cases registered there. The police have circulated the CCTV image among informers. “We are taking the help of mohalla committees, milk vendors, bar owners and waiters to get some leads,” said an officer. 
    In a related development, the Bandra police produced Inayatali Sajan (39), a call centre staffer who had allegedly tried to sexually assault the eight-year-old great grandson of a yesteryear villain inside a lift in a Bandra building last year, before a court on Wednesday. He has been remanded in police custody till April 14. 
    Sajan told the police that he had sexually assaulted another boy known to him. The police requested the family to file a case, but they refused.
