Details of the Incident

According to the information received, the incident occurred on the afternoon of April 27, 2026, around 3:00 PM. The three minor girls had gone to a shop to purchase snacks. It is alleged that the accused, identified a resident, lured the children with a small sum of money and took them to the first floor of his shop.

The complaint alleges that the accused engaged in obscene acts with the minors and used derogatory caste-based slurs against them. Upon learning of the ordeal on April 29, the families of the victims approached the police to seek justice.

Legal Action and Sections Applied

The police have taken a serious view of the matter and registered a case under the following legal provisions:

• POCSO Act: Sections 7 and 8 (Sexual assault).
• SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act: Sections 3(1)(w) and 3(2)(va).

Given the sensitivity of the case involving caste-based discrimination and crimes against children, the investigation has been handed over to RPS Officer Dulichand of the SC/ST Cell.
