In another gruesome and heart-wrenching incident, a 20-year-old woman was allegedly raped and murdered in Mumbai's Kurla area on Saturday, November 27, informed the police.
As per officials, the body of victim, which had started decomposing, was found on the 13th floor in the lift room of an unoccupied building in the HDIL compound.

The post-mortem reports have confirmed sexual assault against the woman. Moreover, the girl had serious head injuries.

Taking it to Twitter, Chitra Wagh said that Mumbai is now on the path of Jungle Raj. “Mumbai, once known for the safety of women, is now on the path of 'jungle raj'. Like the potholes of Mumbai, the law and order situation here also seems to have gone to the pits. Why does the government care more about Mumbai's nightlife than women's safety?”
