Investigators say there could be more cases, but some parents are not willing to press charges as they don't want to traumatise their daughters again

Rehan Qureshi told the police that he has abused more children than he can count since 2015
Serial child rapist Rehan Qureshi has probably abused close to 100 children. By his own admission, since his first attempt in 2015, he would target 10-12 children every month and managed to prey on at least one or two of them. He confessed that he had attempted to rape so many children at so many different spots that he couldn't even remember all of them. He had even told his mother that he was attracted to children, but she did not take him seriously, said police sources.
At the time of his arrest, the police suspected Rehan Qureshi's involvement in 15 cases of rape and molestation (with 16 survivors). This figure has already gone up to 19 in the two days since his arrest. So far, the police have registered three new cases against him at Goregaon, Bhoiwada and Tulinj, based on his confessions. During a search of his house, the cops also found a bail receipt from 2015, when he was first arrested for a molestation case. Following this, Qureshi admitted that he first began preying on kids in 2015, and not 2016 as was previously believed.
