A 28-year-old dancer was sentenced to life imprisonment by a POSCO court in Mumbai for raping a female friend, who was a minor at the time of the incident. The accused, identified as Tushar Bangera had committed the crime in 2013.

According to special public prosecutor, Geeta Naval, the girl knew the accused Bangera as both were stage dancers. Tushar Bangera held a grudge against the survivor for rejecting his proposal and ever since, he had been waiting for the right moment to extract revenge.
