Overview
- The Kalina forensic lab’s January 27 report matched the fetus’s DNA to the accused, leading to his arrest in early February.
- Doctors at Cama & Albless Hospital discovered the 20-year-old was about five months pregnant in late 2025, prompting an FIR on September 22 under BNS provisions and disability protections.
- Investigators collected DNA or blood samples from roughly 16–17 men, and two others—a man and a 17-year-old—were earlier arrested and have been charge-sheeted.
- Police worked with NGO Vidhayak Bharti to use drawings, finger-doll techniques and therapy-based sessions over several days to document the survivor’s account.
- Two other children from the household were shifted to a government shelter in Mankhurd for safety, and inquiries continue into additional perpetrators and possible use of incapacitating drinks.
