CCTV footage has revealed that the accused had picked her up and taken her to an isolated location inside the dumping ground at Antop Hill, where he raped her.”
The girl was left at the dumping ground by the accused. The five-year-old managed to make her way out, and was found crying by locals. The control room was informed and the Antop Hill police were dispatched to the spot. “As the area from where she was kidnapped is under our jurisdiction, the girl was brought to the Wadala TT police station and then admitted to Sion hospital.
The victim spoke to her mother and, on the basis of her statement, a case was registered,’ added Garud.
