A 41-year-old man from Gujarat died after having sex with a 14-year-old girl in a hotel in Mumbai’s Grant Road area. According to police, the accused manager had been financially supporting her family, which included her mother, paralytic father and an unemployed brother. Police said that by threatening to cut off financial aid, the man allegedly blackmailed her and took her to Mumbai where he sexually assaulted her.
According to the police, the deceased, a manager with a diamond company, has been booked for rape and other offences under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on the complaint of the 14-year-old girl’s mother.
The accused took a sexual enhancement supplement at the hotel room and collapsed while sexually assaulting the girl. The minor then called the hotel staffers after which police were informed. The man was then rushed to JJ Hospital.
Reportedly, the man had brought the girl with him from Gujarat. The incident took place on Saturday. “The hotel staff rushed him to a hospital where he died some time later. Prima facie, it seems he suffered a heart attack,” an official informed PTI.
“The child’s mother came to Mumbai after being informed. She has told us the man had lured the child to Mumbai with a false promise. Further probe into the case is underway,” the DB Marg police station official said.
