According to officials, a 45-year-old man was arrested in the Navi Mumbai area for allegedly raping a 38-year-old teacher.
A case has been filed against the accused Ganesh Jayakumar Verma in Mumbai’s RCF police station under Sections 376, 377, 354 and 506 of the IPC. The accused was brought before a local court, which granted the police custody, according to the police. The police had registered a case under rape and other serious sections based on the tutor’s complaint in Mumbai’s Chembur area. The accused had previously molested the victim on April 28, according to the victim woman.
She claimed that on May 13 around 10.30 p.m., while she was alone at her house, the accused trespassed into her home and raped her. He also threatened her with serious consequences if she told anyone about the incident, according to the victim’s police report.
The victim reported the incident to the police a few days later, and due to the gravity of the situation, the police formed a team to apprehend him.
