Mumbai, January 2: Downplaying the shocking incident of two women in Juhu being molested by a mob of 70 people as a "minor issue", Police Commissioner D N Jadhav on Wednesday accused the media of making "mountain out of molehill."

"Such things can happen anywhere anytime. Here also where I am. Don't make mountain out of molehill," Yadav said responding to questions by the newsmen on the incident.

The two women were groped and molested by a mob of 70-80 people near a five-star hotel from where they were returning after the New Year celebrations early Tuesday.

"It (the molestation) is just an offence," Yadav said while appearing to target the media at the same time when he asked "Why are you blowing it out of proportion?"

Stating that no one has come forward to file a complaint, he said the police was registering a case on its own.

"I can't keep police behind every man," the Commissioner said, adding that the police were investigating the case.
