A case of r**e with an 8-year-old girl has come to light in Gwalior. Here, in the Madhauganj police station area, a 40-year-old man lured an innocent relative (a third-grade student) with chocolates, called her to his room, and committed a heinous act with her.
Targeted the child who went to deliver milk
The incident occurred on the night of July 13 at around 9 PM. The innocent girl had gone to deliver a milk packet to the house of her ‘Bade Papa’ living in her neighborhood.
When she was returning after delivering the packet, the accused stopped her by luring her with chocolates and took her to his room, where he committed the brutality.
Meanwhile, when the girl’s grandmother reached there while searching for her, the accused threatened to kill the innocent child and let her go. Out of fear, the girl did not tell anyone anything that night.
Mother saw wounds while bathing, then the secret was revealed
The incident came to light when two days ago the mother was bathing her daughter. The mother saw deep wounds on the child’s private parts, which made her suspect something terrible.
When asked, the child started crying and said, ‘’Mummy, big papa is very bad. He touched me inappropriately and did dirty things. When I refused, he threatened to kill me.’’
Initially, the mother remained silent out of fear of defamation, but when she told this to the child’s father on Friday, the family was shocked.
Threatened when opposed, police nabbed him
When the father reached the accused to protest against this act, the accused instead started threatening him. He said that he would do the same. After this, on Saturday, the parents reached Madhauganj police station with the girl and filed a complaint.
Case registered against accused under POCSO and r**e sections
According to Lashkar CSP Kiran Ahirwar, considering the seriousness of the case, the police immediately registered a case under the POCSO Act and r**e sections and took the accused into custody.
The accused is a laborer by profession and is being interrogated. His past criminal record is also being examined. The victim girl is being medically examined.
