Minor girl poses as Disha officer in suspected revenge act

A ninth class dropout, who is a victim in a POCSO Act case about a month ago, posing as a Disha Police Officer reportedly threatened and forced a family in a village in Avanigadda mandal in Krishna district to appear in a court in Vijayawada. Four members of the family and a former sarpanch who arrived at the court on Monday, however, grew suspicious over her behaviour there and approached a policeman for help. She was caught while trying to escape after he started questioning her.

The girl reportedly wanted the family members of a boy, who was named as an accused in a girl missing case, to complain to the judge against the Krishna district Child Welfare Committee (CWC). It is suspected that the motive behind her action was to put the CWC in trouble for sending her to a child care home in connection with a POCSO case which was registered after an assault on her.
