Tiwari offered the child a chocolate and enticed her to come inside his shanty where he raped her. After the incident, the girl reached home, bleeding from her private parts. When her mother asked her about the bleeding, she narrated the entire incident.
Her mother took her to a nearby hospital where it was confirmed that the child had been raped. When the girl’s mother, along with a few neighbours reached the accused’s house, they found that his shanty was locked.
Mobile tracked
Tiwari was on the run after the incident and was hiding in the city. As his mobile number was not switched off, the cops came to know that Tiwari was in the city. When he rang up his friend on Tuesday for money, the police got a tip-off and narrowed the search to Andheri railway station, and caught Tiwari.
