A 17-year-old’s Bollywood dreams were exploited by a man from her area and his friend to molest her and force her to perform oral sex on them at a resort in Manori on Tuesday. The culprits, identified as Samrat Tambe (20) and Abbas Patrawala, lured the girl to a resort on the pretext of setting up a meeting with a film director.

Officials from Gorai police station said that the minor knew Tambe, as they were residents of the same locality in Nallasopara. She had told Tambe about her dream of working in films and TV serials. On the pretext of helping her realise her dream, Tambe, who works as a receptionist at a construction site, hatched a plot with Patrawala to sexually exploit her.
