Four men including a minor were nabbed along for allegedly gang-raping a 30-year-old woman in Mumbai. According to police, the woman was allegedly gang-raped twice, on two different occasions which were not related. The two incidents occurred within a kilometre of each other on January 15 and 16 respectively.

According to The Indian Express, police stated the woman had attended a programme in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai. On her way back home to her residence at around 11.30 pm on January 15, three of the accused — a 19-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 17-year-old boy, grabbed her and took her to a secluded location and they gang-raped her. A police officer said, "The three accused spotted her on the road and they took her to the service road, which is behind the parked vehicles. Then they forced themselves on her, one after the other." After allegedly raping her, the three fled from the spot. "Later when the victim started walking towards her residence, she was again accosted by two men less than a kilometre away from the spot where she was raped the first time. The two men also took her to an isolated location. They forced themselves on her and while resisting she suffered a head injury," said an officer.
