A man was on Thursday arrested for allegedly raping his 16-year-old sister-in-law in suburban Bandra in Mumbai, police said. The accused, Irshad Siddiqui (28), had allegedly sexually assaulted his wife's younger sister on Sunday, they said.

"On Sunday afternoon, the accused raped his wife's sister when she went to sleep. Following the incident, the victim went to her neighbours and narrated her ordeal to them. They approached the police and lodged a complaint against Siddiqui," he said.

Three police teams were formed to probe the matter and sent to various places, including Rajkot, to nab the accused, the official said. "Acting on a tip-off that Siddiqui is again in Mumbai, police laid a trap and arrested him from suburban Khar today," the official said.
