A Nepali national technical school student, who had been previously arrested for a separate incident of non-consensual indecent assault, was re-arrested for groping a woman’s breast over her clothes in a multi-tenant building in Nakasu, Fukuoka City.

Incident Occurred in the Common Area of a Multi-tenant Building in Nakasu
The suspect, Vivek Basnet (25), a technical school student residing in Chiyo, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, was re-arrested on suspicion of non-consensual indecent assault.

Basnet is suspected of grabbing the arm and groping the breast of a 33-year-old woman over her clothes at around 4 a.m. on February 20, in the common area on the first floor of a multi-tenant building in Nakasu, Fukuoka City. Crime Allegedly Occurred Shortly After Exchanging Phone Numbers. According to the police, Basnet approached the woman and demanded they exchange phone numbers. After the exchange, as the woman attempted to leave, Basnet allegedly committed the assault.

The incident came to light when the woman called 110 (the emergency police number), and Basnet’s involvement was uncovered through the exchanged phone number and other information. During questioning, Basnet admitted to the charges, stating, “There is no mistake. I did something inexcusable.”

Basnet had previously been arrested last month on suspicion of non-consensual indecent assault for hugging a female university student from behind on a street in the same Nakasu area.
