Labourer held for molesting three children

Rajkot: A 25-year-old paedophile was arrested by Rajkot police on Tuesday. The man from Uttar Pradesh is accused of molesting three children living in his neighbourhood.
Accused Satyen Bhaiya, a casual labourer, was nabbed after the mother of two children approached the police accusing the man of luring the two siblings – six-year-old boy and his seven-year-old sister – along with another six-year-old girl to his home on Sadhu Vaswani Road and touching them inappropriately.
According to the police, Bhaiya would take the kids to his home on the pretext of playing and then molest them. Police said that in last fortnight he took the trio to his home thrice.
However, a neighbour caught him red-handed while trying to sodomize the boy a few days ago and informed the parents of the children. After it created an uproar in the neighbourhood, the mother of two kids approached the Mahila police with a complaint.
“We have booked him for molestation and violation of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act based on the complaint and arrested him on Tuesday,” said sub-inspector K J Jhalani.
