# Nagpur police arrest Mumbai student after rescuing injured Class 12 girl from rented flat 2026-08-06T02:25:06+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Nagpur police arrested a 20-year-old BBA student from Mumbai after tracing and rescuing a Class 12 girl who had been confined and injured inside a rented flat in the city's Dighori area, according to Hindustan Times. Police allege the student first contacted the girl on Instagram using a fake account when she was 16, and allege that he later threatened to release her photographs, sexually assaulted her and repeatedly injured her with a knife. The girl's father lodged a kidnapping complaint at Hudkeshwar police station after she failed to return home for over 20 hours. Investigators say they traced the accused through her Instagram chats and other digital records to his home in Thane and then to the Dighori flat. He was arrested, taken to Hudkeshwar police station and remanded to two days of police custody, while the girl was taken to Government Medical College and Hospital for treatment. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The allegations, spanning kidnapping, sexual assault and knife injuries, come solely from police statements at an early point in the case, and an arrest is not a legal finding, so those specific claims stay unproven pending further inquiry and any court hearing. Hindustan Times names the accused and reports on his family background, while withholding the girl's identity throughout its account. The digital trail described, running from the girl's Instagram chats and other digital footprints to a Thane address and on to the Dighori flat, is presented as the basis investigators used to reach the accused. Senior Inspector Anamika Mirzapure said the accused's Instagram account, mobile phones and other digital devices are being examined to establish whether he was involved in similar offences in the past, over the two days of custody the court has granted. ## Coverage - www.hindustantimes.com Tags: Instagram, Nagpur Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/class-12-girl-sexually-assaulted-by-mumbai-student-she-befriended-on-instagram/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
