The investigation into the alleged rape-cum-murder of a seven-year-old girl from Goregaon (West) has revealed that the accused had been involved in at least two other murder cases in the past.
The accused, Babasaheb Kamble, 54, a resident of Kranti Nagar in Goregaon (West), had earlier been arrested for killing a minor girl and a woman in Goregaon. He had committed these crimes while out on bail.

In the present case, Kamble kidnapped the seven-year-old girl on October 28 from outside her residence and raped her in his Kranti Nagar chawl. After committing the dastardly act, he strangulated the victim.

After the girl didn’t return home for several hours, her concerned parents started searching for her. Not finding her anywhere outside, they went to their neighbours’ houses to look for her.

“The victim’s mother knocked at Kamble’s door to ask him about her daughter. When Kamble kept the door ajar to look out who was there, the woman got suspicious and pushed the door open. She was shocked to see her daughter lying unconscious in his house,” said a police officer.

He added that the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital with the help of neighbours where she was declared dead.
Kamble, who was in an inebriated condition, was thrashed by the locals and handed over to the police.

His medical reports have confirmed consumption of alcohol, added the police officer.

“During interrogation, Kamble told the police that in the year 2000, he had kidnapped a girl, raped her and killed the victim by strangulating her. After the cold-blooded murder, he dumped her body near a civic school in Goregaon (West) and fled, said another police officer.

Kamble also revealed to the police that in the early 90s, he had committed a similar offence in which he had kidnapped a woman from Goregaon station, raped her and later strangled her to death, the officer added.

“We are checking the past criminal records of Kamble. As of now, we have found that he was arrested in 2000 on charges of murder but was later released on bail,” said deputy commissioner of police Mahesh Patil.
