However, the police are still investigating Mehfuz Ansari, a 23-year-old man who allegedly helped the prime suspect also a minor.

“We are yet to determine what drug was used to sedate the victim. Since a minor is involved, we want to make sure that there were no other accomplice’s involved,” said More. Ansari has been remanded in police custody until January 13.

Allegedly this is not the first time that the victim had filed a complaint against the minor boy, is the prime suspect.

The boy had kidnapped the victim on thrice earlier for which cases were registered against him at Gamdevi, Matunga and Malabar Hill police station. But due to his status as a minor, they were unable to retain him in custody.
