MUMBAI: A 32-year-old mentally unstable woman, who lost near Grant Road while searching for her aunt's house, was taken to a guest house at Nagpada by a man, and raped on Wednesday afternoon. The man, whose identity has been established just as Liyaqat, is still at large and no arrest has been made.

The victim's family alleged that the mentally unstable woman, a Grant Rd resident, wanted to go to her aunt's house but lost. She asked a man, Liyaqat, to help. Liyaqat, promising to take her to aunt's house, took her to a guest house in Nagpada and raped her. The woman, however, returned home and narrated the incident to her family. A rape case was registered with the D B Marg police.

While the family alleged that the police delayed in taking the FIR, the police claimed that the incident took place at around 2.30 pm but the family approached them only at 11.30pm. "We have registered the case and are looking for the accused. We have also sent the woman for a medical examination and reports are awaited," said deputy police commissioner Nisar Tamboli.
