Crime against women continue in Mumbai, too. 





While the protests against the crimes on women rock the country, there seems to be no end to the crime committed against women. In two different incidents of crime against women, a college student was stabbed by her classmate and a woman from Nepal was raped by three men in Mumbai.


Payal Balsara, a third year student of Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) from Chetna College in Bandra, in suburban Mumbai, was on Saturday morning stabbed by Nikhil Bankar. The accused after stabbing Ms. Balsara, stabbed himself. Both injured were admitted to Guru Nanak hospital in Bandra, where Bankar died due to knife injuries. The girl is still fighting for her life in the hospital.


“We cannot confirm whether the attack took place through one sided love. Further investigation will reveal the real motive behind attack. Right now, we can only say that they both were friends,” told Vishwas Nangre-Patil, Additional Police Commissioner (West region), to The Hindu.


In another incident, a Nepali national was raped by three different people under the guise of helping her. Two of the accused have been arrested while the police authorities are on the lookout for the third accused.


According to police authorities, the victim had come from Nepal to visit her husband who works in a factory in Mumbai. However after reaching the address given by her husband she was told by the owner of the factory that her husband has already left for Nepal.


“She was then allegedly raped by the owner of the factory where her husband was working. She was once again raped by the worker of that factory who was sent to give her food,” said Vinayak Sawade, Senior PI of Nagpada police station. The woman registered her complaint on Saturday morning with the Nagpada police station.


The police on Friday afternoon received a tip that a woman from Nepal is going to be sold for prostitution after which they raided the A-one lodge in Madanpura area of Mumbai. “The woman was found with another person who is claimed to be a friend of her relative in Mumbai. According to her account, he also raped her,” said Mr. Sawade.


The police have arrested two people, namely Zulfikar and Parvez Sheikh after the woman’s complaint. Police are on the lookout for third accused.
