Boyfriend 'rapes' girl, forges cheque

By: Rita Ghose Date: 2008-07-18
Shameen Khan (16) and her mother Farah filed a case against Ahmed Shaikh (19, all names changed) stating that the boy had raped Shameen and had forged a cheque of Rs 58,500 in Farah's name. Police sources suggest that there was a love affair between Ahmed and Shameen, who live three buildings away from each other at Versova.
According to the complaint filed by Farah, Ahmed raped Shameen and also threatened to pour acid on her if she told anyone. The police say that it is possible that Shameen may have taken the cheque book and handed it over to Ahmed.
"I believe that the girl was enticed to hand over the cheque book and was afraid to tell her mother. We don't see any other way in which he could've got the cheque book. We will question her soon," said a officer from Versova police station.
Shameen's father lives separately. The 'victim' has completed her Std X exam and has been admitted to Oshiwara Maternity Home. The police are awaiting the medical results from Cooper Hospital.
