Delhi horror rerun in Mumbai: Girl raped, falls off flat

In a rerun of last week’s Delhi gang-rape, a 27-year-old woman in Mumbai jumped off a five-storey building after being raped by two men on Thursday night.

The woman, who fell in a duct of the building at Pydhonie in south Mumbai, was spotted by some people in the wee hours of Friday. Police later admitted her to a staterun hospital where her condition is stated to be critical.

Both the accused have been arrested. One of them was known to her, police said.

“The Pydhonie police has registered a case and arrested both the accused. Further investigation is on,” Deputy Commissioner of Police, ZoneII, Dnyaneshwar Chavan said.

One of the accused had brought her to Mumbai 10 days ago on the pretext of getting her employment, he said.

Both of them stayed at Bhiwandi township in Thane district for eight days where she was allegedly raped by him, he said. They came to the building at Pydhonie on Thursday at the godown-cum-residence of the other accused, police said. The woman and the two men had dinner together after which they allegedly took turns to rape her, police said.

At around 4 am, she was spotted in a duct of the building by some residents. Police said the woman fell in the duct while trying to escape from the house while the two accused were asleep. She suffered serious injuries and has been admitted to a hospital, the official said.
