Vishal Sharma, hailing from Benaras and currently pursuing B.Tech in a college at Meerut, was harassing the girl from Thane. His four friends were also involved in the case, district police spokesperson said today.
After the girl's family registered a complaint, Maharasthra Police took the call records of the victim and through mobile surveillance they got to know the youth's location, said police.
A team of Maharashtra police yesterday visited the college and took the youth into custody for questioning. Four others are reportedly absconding and a search is on to nab them.
