Since nine months, the girl was allegedly getting assaulted by several accused men, according to the police the number of accused men is at 29.

Additional Commissioner of Police, Dattatray Karale said, "It all started when the lover of the girl raped her in January and made a video of the incident. He started blackmailing her on the basis of that video."

"Later on, his friends and acquaintances gang-raped her at least on four to five occasions at different places, including Dombivili, Badlapur, Murbad and Rabale in the district," he added.
