Recalling the incident, Kiran said, “On Friday evening around 8.30 pm, I was on way to drop Nitin at his residence in Pimple-Saudagar area. We noticed a crowd that had gathered near garden situated at Katepuram chowk near Anand park. When we went there, we saw a lady lying in semi-nude condition. She had also vomited and her cloths were scattered. She was not even able to get up. We gathered her clothes but she was not able to wear it. We gave water to drink and interacted with her in Hindi language. She was pleading us to take her to any doctor or to police. Seeing her state, we immediately picked her up and put her in my car. We rushed her to the Aundh hospital and alerted the police. In the meantime, to inform her parent, we checked her purse. While inspecting her purse we found cash, her company ID card and her mobile handset.”
He added, “First, we contacted her company office but no one answered the call. Later we called her father who claimed that he was in Jabalpur and asked us to rush her to hospital. We also contacted her couple of friends who just gathered information from us but later they did not answer our calls. From the local resident we came to know that the woman was found on the ground since Friday morning. We both had completed our night shift so we went home after police came to hospital.”
Senior Inspector Saifan Mujavar of Sangvi police station said, “The victim is not revealing much information to us and has just told us that she was at Aundh based Star buck coffee shop on Wednesday evening.
