Man charged over alleged lewd acts outside Dublin workplace granted bail

Rishabh Mahajan (29), from India and a student, was charged with three counts of exposing himself to cause fear, distress or alarm to a woman outside her workplace on Dublin's north side. The alleged incidents took place on three dates over two weeks in October and November 2024, between 1 and 4am, and were captured on CCTV. At Dublin District Court, Judge Treasa Kelly granted him bail with conditions, and the DPP said the case must go to the Circuit Court unless he pleads guilty. The most recent development is that bail was granted, and his defence says he maintains his innocence.
