A shocking incident came to light after a Class 9 boy from Tripura's Khowai allegedly lured and raped a 6-year-old girl. The minor accused has been detained.
The incident took place on Saturday when the girl was at home with her elder sister. Her parents had gone out for cutting grass.
The 14-year-old boy came to her residence and told the victim that he would show her flowers. The minor then went to the accused home.
'She's Been Harmed Badly'
When her parents returned, the girl complained of pain in her private parts. Her mother then saw red and black bruises all over the body, the complaint read. A day after the incident, the locals caught the accused and handed him over to the police. In the morning, "the accused's family got to know about the incident, and they begged us to pardon their son," the girl's father said.
"Now my daughter is suffering. She is still very young. She had only recently been admitted to school. Now she has been harmed badly," NDTV quoted the father as saying. A case was filed under the POCSO Act, and subsequently, the cops arrested the boy.
"We received information regarding the rape of a minor child. Following that, we immediately started the process and registered the case. We spoke with the survivor and have detained the accused. The survivor has been sent for medical examination. We will follow legal proceedings as per the provisions of the POCSO Act," Sub-Inspector Sampa Das said.
