Representative imagePUNE: The Yerawada police on Monday night arrested a 63-year-old man for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old deaf and mute girl at his residence in Vadgaonsheri on Sunday afternoon.
“The girl went out to fetch water when the elderly man, on spotting her alone, called her to his place and sexually assaulted her,” sub-inspector Manisha Tule from the Yerawada police said.
The officer said the terrified girl somehow fled from the suspect’s house and narrated the ordeal to her mother in sign language.
“The mother then registered an FIR against the suspect under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Protection to Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.”
“We visited the suspect’s house, but did not find him. We then launched a hunt for tracing the man and nabbed him on Monday. During questioning, he denied of sexually assaulting the girl,” she said.
A special court on Tuesday remanded the suspect in magisterial custody. He was later sent to the Yerawada central prison.
