A 42-year-old man was arrested for allegedly posing as a policeman and duping a rape victim of Rs. 6 lakh in Mumbai on the pretext of registering a case. The accused identified as Uttam Horambare (42), was arrested based on a complaint filed by the victim at Shivaji Nagar police station.

According to a police officer, "In the complaint, the victim said that her relative raped her multiple times since 2013 by threatening to reveal her pictures, which he had clicked secretly. In 2017, she moved to suburban Govandi. However, the accused continued to blackmail and sexually harass her," the official said.
