A 36-year-old man had to undergo several surgeries after he was allegedly gang-raped by five men in Vashi, Navi Mumbai on Monday night.
According to Vashi Police, the man was on his way home and had stopped to smoke on a deserted spot when five men kidnapped him and took him behind trees, beat him up and sexually abused him.
