"We suspected that the accused might return to the area, as predators are known to target the same victims again, especially if the victims do not react strongly the first time. The victim in our case was too traumatised to react when she saw him outside her door and we believe that the accused would not know about the FIR. True to our suspicion, the accused returned to the area on Wednesday evening, and we took him into custody,” the police officer said.
