A case under the Protection of Child from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for “aggravated penetrative sexual assault” and of rape under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was lodged by the police following a complaint filed by the girl’s family members.
Only a day earlier, a 14-year-old boy was detained in Ghaziabad for allegedly sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl.
In a complaint, the child’s family told the police that the incident happened on Wednesday when they were visiting a relative and the five-year-old went out to play along with other children.
“The girl’s brother took away a toy and she ran behind him. On the way, she collided with the accused who took her to an abandoned place where he sexually assaulted her,” an officer said. A case has been registered under sections of POCSO Act and kidnapping of the BNS.
