Mumbai, December 05: A teenaged girl, travelling alone on train from Solapur to the city, was repeatedly raped inside empty rakes at Pune and Mumbai over a period of around 20 hours. The accused, a 21-year-old painter, has been arrested by the GRP.
After being reprimanded by her parents for not studying, the 15-year-old girl left her home in Solapur on Friday and headed for the station. There, she boarded a Mumbai-bound train and decided to land at her aunt’s place in the city.
“The accused, Kishan Kumar Sahani, a resident of Pune, had gone to Solapur for work and was returning home by the same train. He spotted the girl, jostling for space in the crowded coach. Realizing that she was travelling alone, he offered his seat to her and befriended her,” the police said.
