Mumbai: An aspiring model from South Africa has complained
to the police that she was drugged in a suburban pub
and raped by two youths over two days, Wednesday and
Thursday.
The police picked up two suspects, Sunil Morpani and
Suresh Krishnani, both event organizers, from Ulhasnagar
on Saturday in response to the complaint made on Thursday
evening.
The 27-year-old victim said in the FIR that she went
to the three-star Bawa International Hotel near Santa
Cruz domestic airport at 10 pm on December 27 to meet
Govind Singh Bawa, the owner, who had invited her over.
After meeting Bawa, she went to Avalon pub in the same
hotel, spent half-an-hour there, then ordered drinks
and dinner at the hotel's restaurant.
Halfway through her meal, the model, who was alone,
went to the toilet. She returned to her table and finished
her food and drink, but felt strangelygiddy. It was
then that the two alleged suspects popped up and offered
to drop her home. The model suspects the two had spiked
her drink. She said in her complaint that she was eventually
dropped home at Lokhandwala Complex in Kandivli in a
drugged state nearly two days later.
The woman is the daughter of an owner of super market
chain at Durban and had come to pursue a career in films.
She had joined an acting school to learn acting. It
has been established that she was taken to two seedy
hotels in Ulhasnagar, locked up and repeatedly raped.
