Gorakhpur: A case has been registered here against a woman on the order of Siddharthnagar special court for allegedly raping a minor boy under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act.
The court issued the order under section 156(3) of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) on Thursday and subsequently an FIR was lodged.
Police said a 45-years-old woman, Momina Khatoon, a native of Siddharthnagar district, sexually assaulted the boy first time on July 10, 2016. The boy then used to go for tuition classes to a teacher’s house and the woman was his neighbour.
She sexually assaulted the boy repeatedly. Later, on December 20, 2020, she went to the boy’s house with two miscreants and asked the boy’s family to marry her daughter to the boy and also threatened them that she could trap the boy in fake cases as she had a high-profile network.
The woman also threatened the boy, who was in class IX in 2016. He completed his intermediate in 2019 and at present is a graduate student.
“With the court’s order, a case under 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) IPC and POCSO Act has been registered against the woman and police are on her lookout,” said Inspector Rajendra Yadav, in charge of Sadar police station, Siddharthnagar.
