TRICHY: The all-woman police in
Keeranur near Pudukkottai registered a case against a 17-year-old
boy for raping a girl of his age.
The
teenager hailing from Manikandam in Trichy developed an intimacy with his classmate hailing from Kunnathur. Both of them were studying in a school at Mathur. The girl studied only up to Class IX while the accused completed Class X.
They were in contact with each other even after she had left school. He had sex with her on the pretext of marrying her. The girl became pregnant, and her family members filed a complaint with the police. Meanwhile, the boy left for Mumbai for work.
“Though it is a consensual relationship, a
rape case has been filed under the POCSO Act as the victim is a minor,” said investigating officer Padma. The accused would be secured in two days, she added.
