The victim's father has lodged a complaint with the Sahakarnagar police station and the police have booked an unidentified person under section 376 (rape) and 363 (kidnapping) of the Indian Penal Code.
Speaking to TOI, senior police inspectorKamalakar Takawale, of the Sahakarnagar police station, said that the incident took place around 8 pm.
"The girl had gone to a grocery shop and on her way home a man on a motorcycle told her that he had recently shifted to the Bibvewadi area. He told her that his sister and daughter were waiting near a sweetmart and asked her to go with him," Takawale said.
After riding the motorcycle for about half an hour, the suspect took the victim to a commercial complex in Bibvewadi. "He forced her to go with him to the second floor, threatened her with a knife and allegedly raped her in an open space near the fire fighting system," he said.
