Navi Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl in the Balaji Hills, Nerul.

The incident occurred in the month of December 2022, when the victim had gone to the nearby garden with her friends after classes. The accused, a dismissed constable, had posed as a cop and tried to extort money. When the teenagers told him that they don’t have money, he sexually assaulted the girl.
