Fourteen people, who were arrested on Thursday for their alleged involvement in the shocking incident of molestation of two women on New Year's eve outside a five star hotel in Juhu, have been granted bail by a Mumbai court.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) K L Prasad had on Thursday told media persons that on the basis of the photographs clicked of the incident, at least four of the 14 arrested were among those who molested the women.

The two NRI women hailing from Gujarat, currently settled in the US, were accompanied by two men when they were groped and molested outside the hotel on New Year's eve.

Two photographers from a national daily, who were passing, managed to click photographs of the incident, leading to a public outcry.

Thirteen of those arrested are from a single group hailing from suburban Vile Parle and were picked up on the basis of information received from an individual, who identified them on the basis of the photographs published in various newspapers, police said.

The person who surrendered to the police is a resident of suburban Kandivali. He surrendered after seeing his picture in a local tabloid, Prasad had said.
