"The victim is a resident of Dombivali township of Thane district and was returning from Pune," an official from Kalyan’s Mahatma Phule Police Station told IANS. “She reached Kalyan at around 2.30 a.m. today (Tuesday). She called two of her male friends to accompany her at the station as she could not find a train home at that hour,” he added.
One of the victim’s friend told police that three goons beat up her friends and carried the girl to the end of a platform and raped her. “The victim’s friends reported the incident to the railway police only by afternoon following which a case was registered late in the evening,” the official said.
Kalyan city is around 55 km northeast of Mumbai.
