The Bandra police have filed an FIR against a 25-year-old man for repeatedly raping a 19-year-old girl over a period of eight months. The victim filed a complaint at Vakola police station on Sunday from where the case was transferred to Bandra as the alleged crime was committed at Bandstand.


The victim and the accused both hail from Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh where they are neighbours. However, the victim met him for the first time in Mumbai. While they were all in Balrampur, the accused befriended the victim’s brother last year and after the siblings moved to Mumbai, he also came here. He then met the brother and somehow managed to get the victim’s phone number, said the police.
