Ten minor boys have been arrested by the Andheri police for sexually assaulting a 15year-old minor boy. The minors have been arrested under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act for unnatural sex. They were produced at the juvenile court and have been remanded to the Dongri juvenile home.

According to Senior Police Inspector, Pandit Thorat, Andheri police station, “The juveniles who were from the same neighbourhood of the victim cornered the boy at Mograpada area at Andheri and forcefully had unnatural sex with him. The juveniles recorded the incident and threatened the minor boy that if he did not agree to their demands, they would upload his videos and would circulate it on the social media. They also threatened him that if he would complain to anyone about the incident, he would have to face the consequences.” Since the boy was quiet, his parents suspected that something was amiss.
