Due to her condition, she, however, forgot the way and reached another place. Liyakat encountered her at a building near Grant Road junction, and when he noticed that she is mentally challenged, he took her to Firdose Guest House in Nagpada and violated her. A complaint was later lodged against an unknown person at DB Marg police station. Acting on a tip-off, cops laid a trap and nabbed Liyakat from Usmania hotel in Dongri.u00a0
