Nagpur: After whisking his three-year-old neighbour to a desolate place, a 12-year-old minor from Wadi attempted to make sexual advances, but when the girl started crying loudly, he panicked and brought her back. He was booked and produced before the juvenile justice board (JJB) on Friday.
Police said the girl was lured when she was playing with her younger brother in front of her house. When she returned, the girl’s family was stunned to see her crying. She narrated her plight to her family who took her as well as the boy to the Wadi police station.
Sources said the boy had initially tried to mislead the cops by stating that he had taken the girl to the desolate place as somebody had told him to do so. After verifying the facts, cops found that he was lying.
Apart from sexual abuse, the boy was also slapped with charges of kidnapping.
