A 28-year-old woman, who was being raped and threatened by two men since 2012, was saved by her 23-year-old sister, who lodged a police complaint when they began to target her as well.

The Vakola police have registered a case of rape and various other sections of the IPC against the two accused, Mahesh Ashok Balid (23) and Balu Dhotre (38), and arrested them on Monday. According to police sources, Balid allegedly raped the elder sister for the first time in 2012, after a false promise of marriage.
