On Sunday, the Navghar Police station in Mumbai’s Mira Road region filed an FIR against one Mohammed Imran Daraj Khan for harassing, threatening, and raping a 4-year-old Hindu girl.
The accused runs a chicken shop near the Orange Hospital on Mira Road and was known to the victim as a neighbor.
He often used to give chocolates and biscuits to the girl despite objections from her father. The current incident is said to have happened on 7th April, however, it came to the limelight only after the girl complained about stomach ache on Sunday.
On being asked by her father, she revealed what Khan, the owner of the nearby chicken shop had done to her around a week ago and threatened her to keep her mouth shut.
As per the complaint filed by the girl’s father, and case details obtained, she was all alone when the incident happened. The father of the victim girl is a barber and owns a shop close to the shop of the accused. The mother of the girl had gone to her maternal home for a few days and hence, her father had been taking care of her.
The accused eventually came to know about this and started luring the girl by giving her chocolates and biscuits.
On 7th April, the accused called the girl to his chicken shop, gave her chocolates, and then after some time forced himself upon her.
He threatened the girl with a huge knife and asked her to keep her shut, failing which he said he would kill her. The girl got scared and didn’t utter a word.
However, the father of the girl noticed some changes in her behaviour. She was quiet and not active as usual.
Her father said, ‘I asked her a couple of times about what happened but she didn’t say a word’. Suddenly on Sunday, she complained that her stomach was aching.
He added, ‘Initially, I thought, it would be because of the heat or she must have eaten something that didn’t suit her. But she continued complaining and started crying. Later I asked her to know that she had been raped by the chicken shop owner, Khan’.
