A 26-year-old girl from Mumbai was allegedly gang-raped on New Year’s
eve in the city. The incident came to light after the Mumbai Police
contacted their counterparts here Wednesday. According to police,
the victim came to the city on December 31 to participate in a dance
show for which she was promised `one lakh by the event organiser. Four
persons, including one Ahmed Ali, received her at the Shamshabad airport
and drove her to a house where she was asked to refresh. Later, they
offered her a soft drink laced with a drug and allegedly gang-raped her.
Before she regained consciousness, they put her in a Mumbai-bound
private bus. By the time she woke up she found herself in a bus bound
for Borivali. It was then that she realised that she was not only duped
but also raped. She landed in Mumbai early on January 2 and lodged
a complaint with the Mumbai police with the help of a local NGO. In her
complaint, she narrated the sequence of events and revealed that the
house where she was gang-raped was about one-and-a-half hours from the
Shamshabad airport. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Shamshabad,
Bhadreshwar told Express that they had received information about the
gang-rape from the Mumbai police. “The victim told the Mumbai
Police that a person named Ahmed Ali, an event organizer, was involved
in the offence. Minutes after we received the information, I contacted
the night duty police officer of Shamshabad to know the details. The
victim said in her complaint that she was taken in a car for more than
one-and-a-half hours from the airport. So, the offence might have been
committed in Hyderabad Police limits,” he said. The Mumbai police are
likely to transfer the case to Hyderabad for further investigation.
