A young girl who ran away from her home in Surat and made her way to Mumbai was allegedly raped several times by a 45-year-old auto driver, who she had asked for help.

The driver has now been arrested by the Malwani police. According to police sources in Malwani, the survivor had run away from her hometown three months ago, after an argument with her family members. She arrived at Dadar station, and then took a taxi to Bandra.
