In a shocking incident, a 19-year-old college student was allegedly raped by two men at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) quarters at Postal Colony in Chembur. According to the Chembur police, the incident occurred between 10 pm and 12.30 a.m. in the intervening night of November 15-16.
The victim, who lives with her mother and sister in Bhoisar in Palghar district, usually visits her father who works at BARC. Almost a year ago, he was allotted a flat in one of the buildings in the complex, situated opposite Maa Municipal Hospital.
The first accused, Ajit Kumar Yadav, lived in a nearby flat. His father is also a BARC staffer. The police said the victim was acquainted with the accused. On the day of the incident, Yadav had invited his friend, Prabhakar Yadav of Govandi, over to his flat. His family had gone out, so he called his friend over.
"The victim came to Ajit's place to borrow some ingredient for cooking. He then offered her a bottle of Sprite, which was spiked. After a few sips, the victim fell unconscious. Both the men took turns to rape her. When she regained consciousness around 12:30 am, she realised she had been raped and ran to her flat," said a police official.
The victim, a commerce-student, gave her statement to the police on November 16, and an FIR was registered against the two accused. They were arrested the same day and presented in court, where they were remanded to police custody till November 20. The police have obtained samples of the spiked drink from the accused's house and sent them to the forensic department for examination. The victim's medical examination report is yet to arrive, which will be added to the chargesheet as evidence.
The two accused, who are students, have been charged with offences, including rape, blackmail and attempted murder. The police have taken all necessary steps to ensure that the accused face justice for their horrific crime.
