A 29-year-old man from Bhiwandi taluka here has been arrested for allegedly abducting and abusing a teenage girl on her way to school, police said today.
The accused Nasif Imtiaz Momin was arrested last night after he kidnapped the girl on October 11 from an autorickshaw which ferried her to an Urdu school, E N Kharik of Bhiwandi taluka police station told PTI.
Momin allegedly barged into the rickshaw around 7AM and pushed the girl out before jumping out of the vehicle between Bhiwandi and Padga petrol pump area. Then he abducted the victim and took her to an isolated place in a tempo and held her captive for a while.
The vagabond allegedly abused the girl and pressurised her to marry him. When she started weeping, the accused dropped her back near her house in Auchitpada on the same day itself around noon, a complaint registered by the girl's parents yesterday, said.
