Mumbai: Police detain class 9 student for allegedly raping three-year-old
Police have detained a class 9 student in Mumbai for allegedly raping a three-year-old, media reports said on Wednesday.
Based on the complaint filed by the victim's father, a case has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
The accused will be presented in the court today (August 14, Wednesday), the Saki Naka police told Free Press Journal.
The incident came to light at a time when the country is witnessing a massive outrage over the rape and murder of a PG trainee doctor in Kolkata's state-run medical college.
Doctors and people from different walks of life have been protesting the incident.
Though the civic volunteer has been arrested in connection with the case, protesting students, who went for ceasework across the state, suspect more people are involved in the case.
The authorities, including the hospital, are accused of evidence tampering before the CBI steps in.
