A former corporator from Navi Mumbai was arrested on Saturday for allegedly raping a schoolteacher and then filming the act. The accused, identified as Ramashish Yadav from the Nationalist Congress Party, also threatened to leak the obscene video on social media. The 27-year-old survivor is a teacher at a school run by the Navi Mumbai municipality.

According to TOI, Manisha Kashid, sub-inspector of Rabale Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation stated that the survivor alleged that Yadav sexually assaulted her, filmed the act and also clicked nude photographs of the survivor back in 2017. In January 2019, the accused allegedly threatened to circulate the videos and pictures on social media. She finally mustered the courage and approached the police to file a complaint on Saturday.
