A 17-year-old boy raped a minor girl at her residence in the absence of her mother. He was arrested at Raigad and brought to Mumbai.
The 9-year-old victim's mother owns two houses - one in Chembur and the other in Sion. On Thursday afternoon, she had left to visit her Sion residence, leaving her daughter home alone. The girl was playing outside the house, when the boy approached her asking for water and entered the home. She asked him to leave as her mother didn't allow her take anyone inside.
