Mob Assault At Laxman Nagar

This was to become violent when Gohel and her friends, who had taken another car to get home, found themselves at Laxman Nagar, close to Mayur Jewellers, around 8 pm.

Same two women intercepted them and this time they were escorted by a mob of 20- 25 unknown men. The group supposedly dragged out the teenagers of the autorickshaw and raped them.

After the attack, Gohel reported the matter to Kurar police. A case has been filed against Section 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and other applicable provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Arrested suspects and those mentioned in the FIR are Anjum, Fatima Akbar, Idris Surati, Sahil and Imtiyaz.

Nirupam went to the police station in condemnation of the violence. He replied, it is not only about these ladies, but it is a matter of security to the ladies in Mumbai. Such regions as Islam Pura, Pathanwadi, and Kurar are getting less and less secure.

He also claimed that the police had been dragging their feet in making major arrests and pointed out that the same had happened in the same region at the same time of the year the previous year.
