A man arrested for sexually assaulting a teen he met on Instagram demanded luxury items while in custody.

Assault and captivity details

Police arrested a 20-year-old Mumbai student, Nirmay Madhav Pakhare, after rescuing a 16-year-old girl from a rented room in Nagpur.

They found the girl tied to a bed with injuries, and a knife and belt were recovered at the scene, according to Hindustan Times.

The girl had been reported missing days earlier. Police say Pakhare created a fake Instagram profile, befriended the girl, and blackmailed her with private photos to meet him.

Jailhouse demands and investigation

While in custody, Pakhare demanded pizza, soft bedding, and mosquito repellent, complaining about dirty walls and unhygienic toilets.

He was remanded to police custody, and his mobile phone and social media accounts are being examined. A case was registered under laws for kidnapping and child sexual offences.

According to Hindustan Times, his parents, both doctors, traveled to Nagpur after learning of the allegations.
