Mangesh Sonawane, the accused
The Ulhasnagar police have arrested a 20-year-old rape accused for stalking a 15-year-old survivor after getting out on bail. Mangesh Sonawane was arrested last year for kidnapping the girl and raping her on multiple occasions in the Ahmednagar area for four months in 2021, police said.
According to the survivor, Sonawane started stalking her near her college, asking her to get in touch with him. On January 11, when she ignored his attempts, he pulled her by the hair and brandished a blade, threatening to assault her if she refused to meet him, the girl told mid-day.
