The Kurla GRP on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl from Goa, who had come to visit him. According to the police, the girl, who lives with her parents in Goa, befriended Mohammad Shirtaj Ali Hasan, who has a scrap dealing shop in Dharavi, on Facebook six months ago.Hasan allegedly kept persuading the girl to visit him in Mumbai. The girl finally complied and left Goa on January 8 without the knowledge of her parents. She reached Mumbai the next day. Hasan picked her up at Kurla station and took her to a friend’s home in Dharavi.He had told his friend’s parents, who live near the shop, that his fiancée had come from Goa to visit and needed a place to stay. He even showed a mangal sutra he had purchased from the market to convince them that they were getting married.On Jan 10, when the family was out, Hasan arrived and raped the girl repeatedly against her wishes. He then took her to Kurla station and told her to go home.The victim then approached the Kurla GRP and lodged a complaint. Officials then got in touch with their Goa counterparts and found out that the victim’s parents had registered a missing complaint.The girl was then taken for a medical test at Rajawadi Hospital where it was confirmed that she had been raped. “She told us that Hasan had taken her to Dharavi. She also said that a mobile phone was robbed near the place she was staying. We then got in touch with the Dharavi police and zeroed in on the location and finally nabbed Hasan on Sunday. He had thrown away his SIM card and deactivated his Facebook account in fear of getting caught,” said a GRP official.Hasan will be taken to Goa by the cops for further investigation. He has been booked for wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement and rape. Meanwhile, the girl has been kept at the Dongri Children’s Home until her parents come from Goa and collect her.
