Sumeet Raghavan's wife Chinmayee Surve had a disturbing encounter a few days back. The actor had shared the incident on his Twitter account about how a man behaved indecently with his wife near a school.

Within a few minutes, the Mumbai police tweeted back to him asking for details and soon arrested the man. Talking about the whole incident, Sumeet told a leading daily, ''Thank god, they managed to get hold of him. Having said that, it is not only about nabbing the culprit, it is not only about nabbing the culprit, it is about how we go about changing this mindset. There is a school nearby; he must have done the same to girls or boys. They must have not spoken about it, but it must have scarred them. We need to learn to speak up.''

‘’It would be easy for me to say that we just witnessed it. But we did not want to do that. We want to let people know that it is completely ok to speak about such things. In fact, the right way to deal with such situations is to speak up,’’ he added.

Sumeet also said that some buildings in the vicinity had closed-circuit television cameras, which made it easier for the police to nab the miscreant. ''This could happen to anyone and we need stricter rules to curb this. I am really worried about the mindset of such people. This happened in Mumbai broad daylight. It is very scary and disturbing,'' he said.

Meanwhile, Sumeet is riding high on the success of his latest Marathi film Aapla Manus alongside Nana Patekar and produced by Ajay Devgn. Chinmayee is popular for her role in Mahhi Vij's show Laagi Tujhse Lagan.
