GURUGRAM: A 15-year-old teenager has been booked for allegedly sedating and raping a
minor girl in Pataudi, police said on Saturday. “Around 5pm on Friday, the 14-year-old girl met the accused near Shiv Temple in Pataudi where she was offered a sedative-laced drink.
After she fell unconscious, the boy and two of his friends, who are also minor, took her to a desolate place where the accused raped her,” said a police officer of Women’s police station in
Manesar. “Only one minor boy has been booked under Section 6 of
POCSO Act and Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC,” the officer said. No arrests have been made so far, and police are expected to record the accused minor’s statement on Sunday.
“A child in conflict with the law needs to be handled with utmost sensitivity and one needs to look at the reasons that led him to commit an offence,” Divya Vaishnava from BUD Foundation, an NGO working for women and child affected by sexual exploitation, told TOI.
