Mumbai: In a heinous case of sexual assault, the Mulund police on Monday arrested a 34-year-old man for allegedly inflicting injuries to his same-sex partner’s private parts with a burning candle as well as a plastic rod.

According to the Mulund police, the crime was committed on July 6 at a deserted godown at Hindustan Chowk in Mulund Colony.

The police said that the accused, Suresh Mhaske, called up the 33-year-old victim and asked him to meet at the spot.

Once the victim got there, Mhaske demanded money that he owed him, which led to an argument between the two.

The police said that Mhaske, who was inebriated at the time of the incident, started assaulting the victim. He then lit a candle and inflicted burn injuries to his private parts, followed by using a plastic rod lying in the godown.

“As per inquiries so far, the victim and the accused were in a relationship for the last couple of months,” said senior police inspector Kantilal Kothimbire.

Mhaske allegedly left the victim at the spot, who then made his way to the nearest hospital.

He was subsequently shifted to Sion Hospital, after which the doctors informed the police about the case. The police sent a team to the hospital and recorded the victim’s statement, based on which an offence was registered against Mhaske. He was subsequently traced and arrested late on Monday night.

The police have booked Mhaske under IPC sections for unnatural sexual assault, voluntarily causing grievous injury by dangerous weapons or means and criminal intimidation.
