The Parksite police arrested a 45-year-old man for allegedly raping his daughter’s friend at Powai garden on Thursday, last week. Accused Ramroop Pashi (45), a labourer residing at Parksite locality, was caught by the watchman of Powai garden at 1.30pm after he was found committing the offence.
A Parksite police officer said the watchman caught Pashi after which he was taken to the Powai police station. A case was registered with the Powai police and later transferred it to them for further investigations. “The victim is friend of Pashi’s daughter and hence he knew her. The victim and Pashi’s daughter work together,” said the officer.
Probe revealed that Pashi’s daughter eloped few days back. “Pashi accused the victim of helping her daughter to elope and hence threatened her to take police station. He falsely told the girl that a police officer has summoned her. He forced her into an autorickshaw from Parksite and took her to Powai garden where she was raped,” said the police.
A watchman spotted this after which Pashi was held and the police were informed.
