Babush rape case takes a hit

The rape case registered against Babush Monserrate came apart during bail hearings on Monday, when Adv Damodar Dhond stated that the victim girl had allegedly made 24 calls from her mobile phone during the 15-hour period she claimed she was unconscious.

The girl had claimed that she was given something to drink by a maid at the farmhouse owned by Monserrate on March 8 after which she blanked out.
Adv Dhond, legal counsel for the girl’s mother and Rosy Ferros, both accused in the case said, “The final nail in the coffin is the question whether an unconscious person can place or receive calls and SMS because there are 24 call logs between 6 pm on March 8 and 9.09 am on March 9, when the girl has said she was unconscious.”

The packed courtroom was informed that a boy has come on record to say he had spoken to the minor girl during this time.
