MUMBAI: A 24-year-old pregnant womancomplained to the police that she was abducted from Goregaon (E), molested and robbed in a moving vehicle and abandoned in Malwani five hours later, but investigations by the Vanrai police revealed that her claims were false on Thursday.
Officials found that she was unhappy with her in-laws and decided to fake her kidnapping.
On Wednesday, she met her boyfriend, Mangesh Breed, near a temple and changed from her nightie to a fresh pair of clothes. The duo spent the day together at Borivli and even had drinks, the police said. In the evening, the woman changed back into her nightie and went to Malwani , where she lied to the cops that she had been abandoned by her 'kidnappers' .
She also lied that she had been robbed when she had given her gold ornaments to her boyfriend. The ornaments have been recovered and Breed was detained late on Thursday.
Earlier, the woman had stated that she had pleaded with her four abductors not to abuse her sexually as she was four months pregnant. She had said the men blindfolded and gagged her.
The woman stays with her in-laws at Bimbisar Nagar in Goregaon (E) and earlier worked at a BPO. She had an arranged marriage four months ago, and her husband, who is with the merchant navy, is presently posted in Brazil. The woman's motherin-law is a Bharatiya Janata Party worker.
"The shops had downed shutters for lunch. After waiting for some time, the woman decided to head home. Around 2.30pm, a white Innova sports utility vehicle waiting in the busy market area suddenly stopped near her. There were four men inside, including the driver. The victim claimed that the men pulled her in and forced her to sit in a cramped space near the rear seat. She could not raise an alarm as she was immediately gagged and blindfolded," a police official had said earlier.
Her father-in-law told mediapersons that she had given them a missed call from her cellphone.
The woman was sent for medical examination, which confirmed she had not been raped. A case of kidnap and attempt to commit rape and robbery had been registered. The police questioned shopkeepers in the market area but nobody had witnessed the 'abduction'.
