Mumbai Crime: 50-year-old man, 13-year-old boy held for rape and molestation in separate incidents

Both cases were reported in Malad east area in Mumbai

In two separate incidents, the Kurar police on Saturday held a 13-year-old boy for allegedly raping his 16-year-old sister and a 50-year-old man for allegedly molesting his 10-year-old daughter. Both cases were reported in Malad east area in Mumbai.

In the first incident, police said that the relationship between the 16-year-old girl and her 13-year-old brother was revealed when the victim complained of stomach pain. When her parents took her to the hospital, they learned that she was five months pregnant. The Kurar police reached the hospital after the hospital staff alerted them.

During the interrogation, the victim revealed her younger brother’s name. When the police questioned the victim’s brother, he said that his sister used to forcibly have a physical relationship with him by showing him porn videos on her mobile phone. He told the police that their parents used to sleep on the bed, while both the siblings slept under the bed. After everyone fell asleep, his sister used to show him porn videos on her mobile phone, and she used to ask him to have a physical relationship with her, the minor told the police.
