Nagpur police rescued a 16-year-old girl from a rented flat in Dighori and arrested 20-year-old Mumbai BBA student Nirmay Madhav Pakhare, who allegedly befriended her through a fake Instagram account. Police said the girl was found tied up, with injury marks on her body, and a knife was recovered nearby. She was taken to Government Medical College and Hospital. Investigators allege Pakhare threatened to share private photographs online and sexually assaulted her. The girl’s parents reported her missing after she failed to return home. Police traced her location through digital evidence and a call arranged with his family. Pakhare has been remanded to two days’ police custody under the POCSO Act and for alleged kidnapping.
