Kasliwal rape case: accused identified

Mumbai, June 19: A 55-year-old woman, who had accused Abhishek Kasliwal, son of Sriram Mills owner, of raping her, today identified him in the court as the culprit.

The victim, who had gone missing soon after the incident in March 2006, had been traced by police last week.

She appeared before the trial court today and was examined by the prosecution.

The victim told the court how the accused “picked” her up from Colaba in his car and took her to the campus of Sriram Mills in Worli and allegedly raped her.

The prosecution will continue examination of the victim on July 2.

The accused is currently out on bail. The Bombay high court had granted him bail a month after the incident.
