MUMBAI: The Agripada police on Thursday registered a fresh FIR against Siraj Khan , one of the five arrested in the alleged gangrape of a photojournalist in Shakti Mills , after a woman filed a complaint alleging that he had tried to rape her mother at the same spot. Police have registered a case of molestation and kidnapping against Khan. On Thursday, police registered an FIR against Khan who was arrested in the photo journalist rape case.

On August 19, when the complainant's mother went to attend nature's call on the tracks, Khan had dragged her into the mill and tried to rape her. The complainant rescued her mother, who later succumbed to TB. A week later her mother died from TB.

She also alleged that initially the cops had not entertained her complaint as her mother was an alcoholic.

She said she gathered the courage to file the police complaint again after Khan and his accomplices were arrested. Police have initiated an inquiry into as to why a complaint was not registered.

Vinayak Deshmukh, deputy commissioner of police (Zone III), confirming the incident, said, "We have registered a molestation and kidnapping case against Khan based on the description given by the victim's daughter. There are also reports that a transgender was too raped but so far nobody has approached us.''
