Minor among two detained for sodomizing two kids

Rajkot: A 19-year-old boy was arrested and a minor was detained on Monday for sodomizing two boys near Raiyadhar quarters last month.
The two accused, Prashant Solanki and the minor, had lured the kids aged 13 and 11 years to a water tank near their homes by promising them to teach swimming. On reaching, the two accused sodomized the boy and threatened them. “On September 28, the boys were playing at filtration plant near their home when the two accused approached them. After sexually assaulting them again, the kids were threatened of dire consequences which affected them mentally,” said inspector A S Chavda.
The 13-year-old boy turned quieter at his home after the incidents and would not mingle with his family like earlier. Suspecting something wrong, the parents asked him about the change in his behaviour, the boy told them to ask his 11-year-old friend who, too, went through the same trauma. The 11-year-old narrated the trauma they went through. He also said that the two accused had tried to target them again on October 10, but they managed to escape.
The 13-year-old boy’s father who works as a labourer lodged a complaint of unnatural offences, criminal intimidation and violation of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
