In a truly shameful act, a 19 year old boy from Mumbai was arrested for sexually assaulting his 5 year old neighbor residing in Andheri.
The incident is said to have taken place when the minor was alone at home, while her mother was in locality shopping for vegetables. When she returned, she saw her daughter crying in pain.
- "I inquired with my daughter what happened to her legs. She was found scared. She told that the uncle residing on the same floor beat her and also she felt pain in her private parts. We took her to the doctor who confirmed she was sexually assaulted" said the mother in her statement.
After committing this heinous act, the accused ran away. He was soon found out by the locals who thrashed him and handed him over to the police.
- "The accused was produced before the Dindoshi Court on Wednesday and is remanded in police custody. He hails from Bihar and came to Mumbai hardly a month ago. He is jobless. After committing the offence, he went hiding in the locality when people holed him out and thrashed him before he was handed over to the police" said the police statement.
He has now been booked under the IPC sections of 324 (hurt), 376 (rape), 376(A)(Punishment for causing death or resulting in a persistent vegetative state of the victim), 376(B)(Punishment for rape on woman under twelve years of age), 506(criminal Intimidation) and under the POSCO Act Section 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assualt) and Section 10 (aggravated sexual assualt) and Section 12 (sexual harassment).
If punished, he is likely to face a 20 year imprisonment sentence.
