A 35 year old lorry owner was arrested in Chennai for raping women by pretending to be a policeman. Reportedly, the person named Pitchaimani has raped 48 women in and around Red Hills and Puzhal. The man was arrested for filming a woman in Manali, following which he raped her.

Pitchaimani was arrested after a woman filed a complaint with the Puzhal police saying that the man had dressed as a policeman, and snatched her mobile and Rs 15,000. Pitchaimani is said to have captured photos and videos of her and her boyfriend and threatened and took the woman to a isolated place and raped her.

Two days later, the police officers have arrested Pitchaimani, who confessed to many crimes before. Pitchaimani is married and has two daughters. He has confessed that he would roam around in police uniform, find couples and film them secretly and then making them believe he's a cop, threatened women and raped them.
