Police patrolling to be upped in Mumbai

September 13, 2021 17:43

Updates: Mumbai rape and murder case: The Maharashtra Government has announced a compensation of Rs 20 lakh for the next of the kin of the victim.

Police patrolling will be increased in places where streets are less populated during the night. Women travelling alone at night will be provided help, by the night patrolling officers, says Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale.

The Sakinaka police have added sections of SC-ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, as victim belonged to SC. Police also recovered the murder weapon that the accused had used. Primary cause of death is injuries all over her body.

A 34-year-old woman was raped and brutalised with a rod by a man inside a stationary tempo in suburban Sakinaka in the early hours of Friday. She died at a hospital during treatment in the early hours of Saturday.

The crime bore similarity to the 2012 'Nirbhaya' gang-rape case of Delhi.

The 45-year-old suspect, arrested within a few hours of the incident, was later charged with murder.
