Two men were arrested after an identification parade. But charges
are still to be framed. The model went back to her country and
has not spoken a single word. According to CNN-IBN, she says
she wants to come back and fight the case but is scared for
her life.
"I am coming back and I am ready to fight it strongly.
However, I can’t tell you the dates as my life is at risk
after one of the accused was released on bail. I am under depression
and great anxiety. I have been humiliated. But I am determined
to come back and I want the guilty to be punished," she
said.

The NRI model from South Africa, who was allegedly kidnapped
on Wednesday from a Mumbai pub and raped, is planning to sue
a property dealer who reportedly passed on her photo to media
organisations.
“He has illegally given it from the house agreement papers
and we are planning to sue,” said a source close to the
victim, Reshma Khan (name changed). Khan’s lawyer Falguni
Brahma-bhatt met Joint Commissioner of Police (law and order)
Arup Patnaik on Sunday and asked him to speed up the investigation.
The rape suspects, Sunil Morpani and Suresh Krishnan, have
denied drugging the model though they have admitted to raping
her, according to police.
“They said she was drunk and came with them,” a senior
officer who interrogated them told DNA.
Additional Commissioner of Police Parambir Singh said police
have so far not found evidence of pornographic pictures of Khan
taken by the accused. “One guy did have some pornographic
clippings in his mobile, but they are not related to the victim,”
he said.
Police are questioning employees of Raj Mahal hotel at Kalyan
where Khan was taken. They may also interrogate GS Bawa, owner
of Bawa International hotel. Bawa’s son Karan said neither
his father nor anyone else from the hotel was involved.
Brahmabhatt clarified that Bawa had not introduced Khan to
the accused. “Reshma had earlier met Bawa at the JW Marriot,”
she said. “On the night of the incident Bawa had called
her for dinner, from where she went to Avalon.”
The police are still to conduct an identification parade of
the suspects.Meanwhile, the housing society at Oshiwara where
Khan was staying as a paying guest has no complaints against
her.
“I had interviewed her three months ago,” the society’s
secretary told DNA. “She told me she wanted to be a Bollywood
actress and had enrolled in an acting class. She is a decent
girl and never created any nuisance on the premises.”

The two youths who
were arrested in connection with alleged rape of an NRI woman
have been remanded to police custody till January 6.
The two accused, namely Sunil Morpani and Suresh Krishnani,
arrested last night from neighbouring Ulhasnagar, were produced
in the Bandra court this morning.
The two are accused of raping a 27-year-old NRI woman hailing
from South Africa, three days ago.
The victim, staying at Lokhandwala complex in Andheri, went
to Bawa International Hotel near the domestic airport on December
29 and after having dinner, visited the pub 'Avalon' in the
same hotel, according to the complaint filed by victim's lawyer.
She met the two men in the pub, who befriended her. Then the
duo allegedly mixed drugs in her drink, when she had gone to
toilet. After a while she felt dizzy and they offered to take
her home.
But instead she was driven to some unknown place in a Maruti
car, and allegedly raped.
