Rajasthan minor accused of sexual assault
A tough story from Rajasthan's Churu district—police have detained a 13-year-old boy for allegedly raping his eight-year-old cousin while their parents were at work.
The girl told her parents what happened when they got home, and the family went straight to the police.
TL;DR
Victim's family not allowing medical exam
Police registered a case under the POCSO Act, but things have hit a snag because the victim's family isn't allowing a medical exam.
Investigators are still moving forward, looking into possible reasons behind the boy's actions—including his reported mobile phone addiction.
The boy is in custody and will be brought before the Child Welfare Committee as authorities work to ensure justice.
