According to the police, the woman had travelled to Pune for a job interview on November 27, 2024. After she missed the interview due to delay in reaching the venue, she contacted one of the accused whom she knew through a relative, Pawan Sabbad.

Sabbad promised to find her a job in Vasai. He travelled to Pune to pick her up and brought her to his house in Naigaon East, where his other accomplices – Dhanraj Chavan, Nagesh Gaikwad and Abhishek Pujari – were present. Over the next two months or so, the accused gangraped her repeatedly, took obscene photos of her and posted them on a fake Instagram account and threatened to kill her and her family members if she approached the police. They also took away her mobile phone and earrings worth ₹75,000.

“We arrested two of the accused on Tuesday and a search for the remaining two accused is underway,” said Vijay Kadam, senior inspector, Naigaon police station.
