Mangaluru: Police arrested a man from Mumbai for allegedly raping a differently-abled minor girl in a hospital and a woman accomplice for aiding him.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Haleem, a native of Bihar who resides in Mumbai, and Shamina Banu (22), a resident of Kulshekara, police said.
They were arrested based on the complaint by the victim’s mother.
According to the complaint, Abdul Haleem and a relative of the complainant had been injured in an accident and were receiving treatment at a private hospital.
It is alleged that Shamina Banu, who is the sister-in-law of the complainant, and Haleem were engaged in an intimate act when the victim entered the hospital room.
