In 2015, the Dharavi resident took the 7-year-old boy to a terrace under the pretext of showing him a white pigeon and then raped him. The boy confided about the incident to his father and a case was filed at the Dharavi police station.

During the sentencing, the special court stated, “The incident will leave a scar in the mind of the victim for a long period, and he may not be in a position to live a normal life. He will remain under stress and pressure. The incident also involved moral turpitude."
