JAIPUR: A 14-year old boy was detained on Monday for sexually assaulting his three-year-old cousin in Jhunjhunu on Sunday.
According to Khetri police, the girl’s mother approached them on Sunday evening with a complaint against the boy, following which an FIR under appropriate sections of the POCSO Act was lodged.
“The girl’s mother said four days ago, the teen boy was asked to look after the girl in a room of the house. While the woman was engaged in some work in another room, she heard her little daughter crying. When she went there, she found the accused watching porn on his father’s mobile phone and forcing her daughter for oral sex,” said Khetri SHO Vinod Sankhla.
Police added as the boy is a relative, the girl’s family was initially reluctant in lodging the FIR, but they finally went ahead.
“Soon after receiving the complaint on Sunday, we took the girl for medical examination. Since she is a toddler, her mother’s statements would be sufficient. Also the mobile phone on which he watched porn has been seized. He also indulged in oral sex with the victim,” said Sankhla.
Police added that a case under Section 3/4 of POCSO Act has been lodged.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
