Girl tied up, knife on bedside: Shocking details in Nagpur Class 12 girl's sexual assault by Instagram friend
Investigators say the accused allegedly pressured the girl to continue their sexual relationship and threatened to upload her photos online if she refused.
A 20-year-old BBA student from Mumbai, Nirmay Madhav Pakhare, was apprehended in the early hours of Tuesday in Nagpur, Maharashtra, for allegedly kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and repeatedly stabbing a Class 12 girl he had befriended on Instagram, according to police. The survivor was found tied up inside a flat in south Nagpur after a 20-hour-long search.
The knife used in the attack was discovered in a bedside table. The girl's parents reported her missing on Sunday, and her phone had been inactive for nearly 24 hours. Police located the accused following a thorough examination of her Instagram conversations and other digital evidence. Pakhare contacted the girl on Instagram in May the previous year under a fake profile named Akash Mehra, and she was 16 at the time.
The accused, who lives with a prominent doctor couple in Thane and is the nephew of a senior IPS officer, brought the survivor to the rented flat in Dighori, an area in south Nagpur, where she was confined for over 24 hours before being rescued.
