V N Khilare, assistant sub inspector of the Lonikand police station said that the girl was a student of class IX and studied in the same school where Dhanwe used to teach. “The accused used to call her often and make promises of marrying her. On May 15, he and his friend Arun Dolas convinced the girl to run away with them. Dhanwe took the girl to different places in Manchar and Mumbai and raped her,” said Khilare.
