Kalyan police in the district today arrested a local Shiv Sena leader for allegedly trying to put pressure on a gang-rape victim's family to withdraw the case.
Assistant commissioner of police V N Phulkar said that police had arrested the Sena leader Deepak Bhoir after a court denied him anticipatory bail.
A 13 years old Dalit girl was allegedly gangraped by six youths in Kalyan on February 15, 2016. Police arrested all six accused.
According to the police, Bhoir -- who is related to one of the accused -- was pressurising the victim's family to withdraw the complaint, offered them money and asked them to leave the city.
