3-year-old raped by minor boy

A nine-year-old boy was booked by the city police on the charges of raping a three-year-old girl. The police acted on a statement given by the victim’s mother.

SHO, Police Division 3 inspector Pawan Kumar said after registering a case, further investigation was launched in the matter. The girl would also undergo a medical examination.

The girl’s mother said she moved from her village to stay with her husband about four months ago. Her daughter was sleeping next to her and when she noticed she was not in the bed, she started looking for the girl. While searching, she went to her neighbour’s house and heard her daughter’s cries. When she went inside, she saw that the suspect was violating her daughter. She raised the alarm and by the time residents came to the place, the boy fled the scene.

The complainant said afterwards, she lodged a police complaint following which a case was registered.
