Horror. That is what every single resident of Mira Road's Woodland Complex felt when the news broke that their neighbour, Rehan Qureshi, had been arrested for raping and molesting 16 children since 2016.
A woman living in the Sheetal Nagar society said, "My 10-year-old daughter used to play without fear in our society. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that such a monster was living next door. I am truly scared now." Rehan was arrested on Wednesday, just minutes away from the colony, while he was smoking outside Shahi restaurant. mid-day visited his home at Mira Road, where he and his family had moved only a couple of months ago.
