Jul 27, 2012: Man lynched for molesting 12-year-old

MUMBAI: A 22-year-old air-conditioner mechanic died at Sion hospital on Wednesday after he was reportedly kicked and his head was banged on a wall by his ex-boss, allegedly for molesting the latter's 12-year-old daughter, the previous day. 

The incident occurred around 7pm when the Std VIII girl's parents—businessman Naziruddin Shaikh (32) and his wife Shamim Bano (27) and a relative Junnuddin Shaikh (32)—got to know that the victim Khurshid Shaikh had misbehaved with her, the Vinoba Bhave Nagar police said. 

DCP (zone V) Dhananjay Kulkarni said, "Khurshid had gone to the businessman's house where he met the girl. He then misbehaved with her. On hearing the girl's scream, a neighbour rushed to her and thrashed Khurshid. Somehow he managed to flee at that time. Later, the girl's parents picked him up from his house when they learnt about the incident." 

Khurshid was employed for two months at Naziruddin's AC workshop in Kurla (W). Khurshid left the job a month-and-a-half ago and joined another AC workshop in the neighbourhood. "Around 7pm, five people barged into my house at Gurudatt Nagar in Kurla (W) and forcibly took Khurshid along with them. Later, it was learnt that they have brutally assaulted him," said Mohammed Shaikh, said Khurshid's roommate, in his complaint. 

When Naziruddin saw Khurshid had lost consciousness after the assault, he took him to Sion hospital. The three accused were arrested on Wednesday after Khurshid died.
