Mumbai photojournalist gang rape: Mohammed Qasim Hafiz Sheikh alias Qasim Bangali, the accused arrested in the infamous Mumbai gang rape case, has told investigators that his gang had similarly raped four ragpicker women at the same spot, where the heinous crime was committed against the photojournalist.
"Bangali told us they had raped four ragpickers at the same spot where the 22-year-old was gang raped", a Mumbai Police crime branch officer said.
None of the earlier four gangrapes were reported, which reportedly encouraged these rapists to commit more such crimes.
The gang used to target ragpickers as garbage used to be dumped at the deserted mill compound, and ragpickers used to visit the spot to segregate the garbage.
Mumbai police is yet to decide about registering fresh FIRs based on the admission of Qasim Bangali.
21-year-old Qasim Bangali was picked up on Sunday morning from near Nair Hospital, where relatives of patients informed police after recognising his face from the sketches circulated.
Eight hours later, his associate and ringleader Salim Ansari, 27, was picked up from near a slum in Delhi.
Ansari had fled Mumbai and had gone to Delhi to hide in a relative's slum dwelling. He was walking calmly towards his relative's home when Mumbai police inspector Gulabrao Gore and Delhi police inspector Dinesh Kumar swooped on him.
As details emerge from interrogation, Crime Branch officers were horrified to learn that the rapists after committing the heinous act forced the photojournalist to clean up the place. They threatened to attack her with broken beer bottles.
