Butcher sexually assaults 13-yr-old, demands to be married to her, arrested

CHENNAI: A 28-year-old man has been arrested for sexually assaulting a minor and demanding her mother to get the child married to him. The accused, Sheik Mohammed of Tirumullaivoyal, runs a meat shop near Annanur railway station, said the police. Mohammed was in a relationship with 35-year-old widow and he allegedly sexually assaulted the woman's 13-year-old daughter in 2017. But, since he apologised for his act, the woman buried the hatched. On Wednesday, Mohammed allegedly demanded the woman to get her daughter married to him and she approached the police. The Avadi all-women police registered a case and arrested Sheik Mohammed under Pocso Act. He was remanded in judicial custody.
