Mumbai man booked for teen’s rape

Surat: Athwalines police station booked a Mumbai resident for allegedly raping his former fiancée a 16-year-old girl, and sharing her objectionable photos and videos on social media.
The accused, Murtuza Mustali Vohra of Pathanwadi in Malad suburb of Mumbai, resorted to the social media shaming of the girl after their engagement was called off by her parents recently.
He developed friendship with the girl during his visit to the city for a religious event in January. As they were from the same community, their parents got them engaged. Vohra used to often visit the girl and her family during lockdown and had even stayed at their house.
They developed a physical relationship and Vohra allegedly shot objectionable videos of the girl as well. Meanwhile, due to some dispute, the girl’s father called off their engagement. On returning to Mumbai, Vohra allegedly shared her videos and photos on Instagram. The girl’s family then lodged a complaint.
Vohra has been booked under sections of Information Technology Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
