The Mahim police have arrested two city-based youths for allegedly raping minor girls in the premises behind Mahim Dargah, near Mahim Beach. According to officials from the Mahim police station privy to the investigation, the two incidents took place at different times but at the same location. The first incident occurred on March 23, while the second took place on April 4. Both cases came to light when they were reported to the police on April 10.
“During a routine check near Bandra railway station, police personnel noticed two underage girls headed towards the station without any accompanying adult or guardian. When questioned about their whereabouts, their responses appeared inconsistent, prompting the officers to take them to the One Stop Centre,” a senior police official said.
