In an audacious act, a criminal who had been externed from Bandra kidnapped a 17-year-old girl from her shanty in the area and took her in a stolen auto to Mankhurd, where he gangraped her with two of his accomplices.

While the survivor reached Bandra police station around 10 am yesterday, the police did not register an FIR until 7 pm, giving the accused enough time to flee.
