Between 3 am and 5 am yesterday, the man dragged the girl from the footpath in Saibaba Nagar, Kandivali (West), where she was sleeping with her mother and 4-year-old brother, took her to an isolated spot and raped her.
When the girl’s mother was shown CCTV footage of the rapist, captured from a camera on the road, she recognised him as a drug addict in his late 20s who had tried to assault her a few days ago.
In her statement to the Kandivli police, the girl’s mother has said, “A few days ago, when I was sleeping on the footpath, the man who can be seen in the CCTV footage attacked me and tried to rape me.
He is a drug addict and was drunk at the time of the incident. He had been following me and had made lewd comments, but I had no idea that he would attack my child.”
DCP (Zone XI) Balsingh Rajput said, “We recovered CCTV footage from the road and, according to the survivor’s mother, the accused had also attacked her a few days ago. He is a drug addict and we will find him very soon.”
