Two minors sexually assaulted in different cases, one accused held
NEW DELHI: Two separate incidents of sexual assault against women have come to the fore on Tuesday.
In the first incident, a 12-year-old girl was allegedly molested by her neighbour, who was in an inebriated state, in South West Delhi’s Dwarka area.
In the other incident, a student from Sarvodya Kanya Vidyalaya in Malviya Nagar has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by her Uncle. The school authorities have forwarded the complaint to the local police station.
The accused in the first case lives in the girl’s neighbourhood and had allegedly lured the girl from her house on the pretext of buying sweets.
According to a senior police official, “We had received information about the incident at 11.30 pm, after which we formed a team and rushed to the girl’s house, where, after persuasion, she narrated the incident to us and her parents”. The girl said that the accused had lured her away by telling her that he had some sweets for her. He said he had received a bonus from work and wanted to treat her.
