In a bizarre story from Borivli, a daughter has dragged her mother, Janaki Patel, to the Mumbai police headquarters, accusing her of forcing her into prostitution. For now, the social service branch of the Mumbai police is busy recording statements of those involved in these allegations.
Jignesh Patel, Renuka’s father has said, “Renuka has finally escaped from the clutches of her mother, and we now stay away from her. I get threatening calls on my cell phone to part with Renuka, but I won’t.”
Meera Borwankar, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) has said, who is personally taking part in the investigations, “The daughter’s allegations are serious. Whether it’s true or not, will only be known only after investigations.”
My mom was paid Rs 15,000 the first time. In April 2005, my father had gone to Pune for work. My mother asked me to accompany her to a puja at SV Road in Borivli.
After an hour when I came outside, I saw the man paying Rs 30,000 to a woman. She gave half the sum to my mother. I had fever and started bleeding from my private parts. Later, I would be taken to a doctor every week, since I bled excessively.
Four days later, I was taken to Chhedha Nagar at Ghatkopar, for another puja. Again, a man had sexual intercourse with me, with more men following at regular intervals. My mother was paid Rs 25,000 that day.
Since then, I have been forced by my mother, grandmother, grandfather and uncle to have sexual intercourse with various men almost every day. In the last nine months, I was taken to five houses, all of which seemed to be owned by respectable people.
My granny would bathe me and dress me up before sending me to the houses. When my father objected, my mother had him beaten up by hired goons.
I quit my tuition classes since I became numb and disinterested in studies. I’ve stopped attending school from this month. When I refused to obey my family, they threatened to be beat me up. My husband is using my daughter to settle old scores
These allegations are baseless. In fact, my husband has used my daughter to settle old scores. We’ve been married for 10 years, but because of problems in our marriage, I was going to get a divorce. My husband does not even earn enough to feed our family. He is a complete failure as a father and husband.
I run a catering business from home with my mother and we deliver the food to houses, offices and schools nearby. If I were indeed involved in running a prostitution racket, we would have never stayed in this tiny chawl. My daughter has been misled by her father.
