Nagpur 'English-Only' Accused of Teen Assault Brought 30 Weapons
A man from a city called Thane is in trouble with the police in Nagpur, another city in India.
His name is Nirbhay, and he is also called Akash Madhav Pakhare.

Instead of taking a bus or train, he flew to Nagpur on an airplane.
He rented a room, through an app called 99 Acres, where the girl was kept.
The police found more than 30 sharp weapons and some strange toys in the room.
Officers are checking whether a movie gave him the idea for the crime.
After he was arrested, he kept asking for pizza and burgers.
He also complained that the lock-up was uncomfortable and asked for a soft bed and mosquito repellent.
The police are still investigating what happened.
