Youth caught for raping FB friend Mumbai

A 20-year-old student was arrested after he allegedly raped his Facebook friend in a Mumbai suburb.

The rapist was identified as 20-year-old Pankaj Mishra, a student of Bachelor of Management Studies. He was apprehended on Sunday at his Chembur residence in North East Mumbai after the17-year-old victim lodged a complaint of rape.

Pankaj and the victim, who is a first year student of a mass media course, study at Vivekanand College. The two became friends through the social networking site Facebook in the second week of June and later learnt that they were from the same college.

The two later met in college and became good friends. On one day, the victim told Mishra that she had to complete one project assigned by her professor in the class. The accused invited her to his home on July 20 saying he had done similar projects when he was in the first year and he could help her in completing it. She went to his house on that day.

The next day again, she went to Pankaj’s house but then the accused threatened her with a knife to stay back when she wanted to leave in the evening, the police said. Around 11.30 pm, Pankaj sexually abused her and let her go home the next day. The victim told her parents, who work in separate private firms, how the accused threatened her with a knife and sexually abused her. The victim lodged the complaint on Sunday.

Rizks, I am not storing my brain but using it...hence your sheep request rejected :-P

By soniya• 28 Jul 2010 10:54
soniya

Exactly drmana..

Social networking sites has never forced anyone to jump on every friendship request..It's solely on the discretion of the person..

Making friend is not bad but to trust on someone with both the eyes closed something is not in my dictionary..

By Rizks• 28 Jul 2010 10:53

ok drmana i will send you also one sheep.....:)

By drmana• 28 Jul 2010 10:51

Soniya, all our friends were a stranger before we met them. People should not be miser to use the brain they are storing in their head and make sensible decisions regarding people they meet and decide to befriend in life.

By Rizks• 28 Jul 2010 10:50

Soniya wait lemme send u a sheep with a small post-it stuck in his forehead sayin

I think the guy tried to blackmail her....

1st time they had sex

2nd time he recorded it.....

The girl had only one recourse - to complain.

That why I dont meet unknown girls from social networking sites...I might get raped...and then blackmailed too... ;)

By drmana• 28 Jul 2010 10:30

Lets not blame anyone here. Give both of them a benefit of doubt. Lets not call that boy rapist till proven guilty. Medical examination would reveal the truth. Lets not blame that girl as well. May have been consensual, may have been rape but whatever she must have been humiliated enough by now.

As of parents statement, well I would have been shocked if they had said otherwise.

flor, that incident is from INDIA..sorry to say this..In our country, we don't look at up this cases with gud eye..To whomever you will discuss this problem in INDIA, they will all say THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A GIRL TO ENTER A STRANGER's house and that also to stay till late...She is really STUPID..

even to put blame to anybody! Let the official investigation comes out and then we put our comments.

Soniya, I won't call that girl stupid. We really don't know the level of their friendship. And trust is sometimes so easy to be given away! For sure there is a victim here. MAny wll say it's the girl and some will say it's the boy. Let justice takes it course!

By soniya• 28 Jul 2010 10:10

rizk, they were out of station that time or a mere spectator of the incident..

Aren’t you? Actually I meant WK's partner. To become my partner you have to be reasonable!

Now the question is : No matter how important the project assignment was, that stupid girl shoudln't stay for so late in the night and that also with a boy..It's her mistake and she paid for it..

Here is the new development in the case :

Girl's version:

In her statement to the police, the girl said, "We became friends through Facebook and met on July 19 and 20. I told him that I had a project to complete and he offered to help me. At 6.30 pm on July 21, we met at Saroj hotel in Chembur. Pankaj told me that we can work on the project at his residence as there was no one at his place. We went there by auto and started working."

"His maid was at home and left at 8 pm. Around 9.30, he went to have food and locked the door. He started misbehaving with me around 10.30 pm. I threatened to kill myself with a knife; he took the knife saying he would drop me home and then raped me at knifepoint. He locked me inside the room and then let me go to college in the morning."

The Other Side :

Tejnarayan Mishra, the accused's father, said, "The police have been forcing us to say that we were out of town on the day of the alleged rape. The truth is that we were at home and there is no way our son could have raped the girl at our residence."

Guys, do not disagree with WK. He knows everything about everything. He has seen ALL. His arguments are the most logical ones. Everyone else is just stupid. You are right WK as usual. You can never be wrong. You are so intelligent, learned and experienced. You have seen the world.

WK, Is there any chance for you to find some life outside QL?

Wow, this shows the careless attitude of parents towards their GIRL CHILD..I really want to use the most harsh words for those parents who didn't bother to know where their dgtr was for whole night..SHAMEful act !!!!

By anonymous• 28 Jul 2010 08:02
anonymous

Yes the parents weren't worried till the morning when their 17 yr old daughter didn't come back so she made an excuse to stay out whole night, 20 year old boy can't afford his own place so they waited for a night when nobody was home. Ah the story sounds awfully familiar ;)

Not really a 'friend' then really if you rape them hahahaha

By drmana• 27 Jul 2010 22:38

The word FB used just to sensationalise the case.....should be "youth caught ACCUSED of raping A FRIEND".

By FathimaH• 27 Jul 2010 22:26

Agree with Lafanga & chadqa...blaming FB seems to be all the rage now! Like before FB no one raped anyone & crimes were less rampant? Please.....

By chadqa• 27 Jul 2010 22:23
chadqa

FB shouldn’t be blamed after all, It’s the rapists that need to be banned.

By Lafanga• 27 Jul 2010 22:23

Teenagers were having sex even before FB came along.

By FathimaH• 27 Jul 2010 22:20

Whatever the outcome of the case be I find the title of the news item very misleading & sensationalizing! To say "Mumbai college student held for raping Facebook friend" it seems like once again unnecessarily targeting FB in a criminal case cos after all though they originally met on FB the article states "The two later met in college and became good friends" so she was hardly just his FB friend,right? Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to say just "friend" or even "college friend"..but guess that wouldn't grab as much attention now =/

facebook should be banned in India as well...

the basic requirement is to monitor any sort of social website to full extent...

By chadqa• 27 Jul 2010 22:16

Agreed with you Xena...

By Xena• 27 Jul 2010 22:08

it looks fishy... why didn't her parents try to find her in the evening? They didn't call? The police weren't looking for a 17yr girl that doesn't come home?

Hmmmm... me thinks she stayed out all night and thought they wouldn't catch her, but they did and now she's come up with this story....

By chadqa• 27 Jul 2010 22:00

And what is the commotion all about?

Yes alot of men do think she is to blame for the whole incedent, The medical results will tell the tale, and the trial will decide, unless they all also blame a young girls inexperience in the world.

That's pretty extreme mate and you really should apologise. We are having a discussion and unless any of us are the concerned parties, it's not right to make it personal :(

ex.expat no harm in disagreeing man, I commented on what I had observed in the past and you commented on what you observe here.

By anonymous• 27 Jul 2010 21:34

I know what Modus Operandi is and your phrase,"are you mad that he has your M.O. for getting with the chicks?" implies that it is my M.O. for getting with chicks.

As I said I am not here to debate with you so cut it.

By ex.ex.expat• 27 Jul 2010 21:33
ex.ex.expat

I don't think it's really fair to say she consented and then changed her mind without knowing anything else about the case. On the other hand, the investigation and trial will be very hard for her so if she she most likely would not press charges unless she was telling the truth and had faith in the system.

Sorry, WK, on this one I disagree with you mate :)

By Bink187• 27 Jul 2010 21:32
Bink187

You can rationalize it anyway you want. like I said before she did not like it, maybe he used more than just a knife to restrain her.

That would be Mode of Operations! I would give you the latin, but then you would just ask what again!

By anonymous• 27 Jul 2010 21:27

Sorry sir I can't debate with a genious like you.

By anonymous• 27 Jul 2010 21:26

Bink187 my M.O.???

So if I believe in innocent until proven guilty it means that I lure women to my house and rape them???

I have no comments for your ingenious observation, hats off!!!

By anonymous• 27 Jul 2010 21:23
anonymous

britexpat I have seen quite a few cases like this in India where the girl claims foul play and when put under serious questioning breaks down and admits consent. I stopped believing such stories after that. What was a 17 year old girl doing alone in the room of a 20 year old guy at 11:30 PM, She stayed overnight and returned home next morning. Throughout the night, she didn't get even one chance to escape??

By Bink187• 27 Jul 2010 21:20
Bink187

Whyteknight...No means No! He lured the girl to his home under false pretense, and had his way with her with the aid of a knife. If she liked it she would not have told her parents. are you mad that he has your M.O. for getting with the chicks?

By britexpat• 27 Jul 2010 21:18
britexpat

There is nothing to suggest concentual sex.. If she is claiming rape, then surely it should be treated as rape..

I wonder what he thought she would do when he let her go..

jeez.. he doesn't need to force the girl... hehehe

ya right. Most likely scenario, they had consensual sex, the girl got upset over something or got scared (Indian girls aren't supposed to be screwing around at 17) and filed the case.
