Another horrifying case of rape has surfaced in the city, when three persons were arrested in Nirmal Nagar, Bandra (East) yesterday, for kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old girl. Before the case was reported to the police, the survivor was allegedly raped on several occasions in the month of July.

The three arrested have been identified as Munshi Akhtar Qureshi (35), Vijay Kumar Rajbar (20) and a 15-year-old. The 15-year-old is a friend of the survivor, who had allegedly taken the girl to Qureshi’s house on July 2, when the victim was raped for the first time. “In the evening, the teen took the girl to Qureshi’s house, which is close by. After dropping the survivor at Qureshi’s house, she told the survivor that she was going to get another friend, but she actually left,” said an officer from the Nirmal Nagar police station.
