MUMBAI: A 16-year-old girl and her 17-year-old friend were detained on Saturday for allegedly killing a 75-year-old man a month ago and dumping his body in the bushes. The senior citizen had allegedly been sexually abusing the minor girl, who worked in his shop.
The 16-year-old girl and her 17-year-old friend claimed that on February 16, the victim was attempting to sexually assault the girl again due to which they attacked him with a stone, which led to his death.
According to the police, the victim's body was found on February 22 near the Balepir Shah Dargah in Uttan in a decomposed state. The discovery was made after former corporator Amjad Sheikh, who visited the dargah that day, alerted the police about a stench in the area.
