According to the police, the minor girl’s mother had filed a complaint at the South Rohini police station on Wednesday against the school peon for allegedly molesting her daughter. The incident, as per the complaint, took place on Tuesday (May 10).

A senior police official said that based on the complaint, a case was registered against the accused under section 354B (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 10 (punishment for aggravated sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).

The official said that the police had only a single clue regarding the identity of the accused that he had a moustache.

The official further said that the child underwent a medical examination and a counseling session at a hospital, adding that the accused, 43-year-old Sunil Kumar– a resident of Sultanpuri, was arrested on Thursday morning after he was identified by the minor victim.

Further investigation is underway, he added.

In a similar incident, a five-year-old girl was allegedly molested by a Pizza delivery boy in southeast Delhi on Sunday.

A senior official of the Delhi Police said the accused, identified as Amit, working as a delivery boy for a multinational Pizza outlet, was arrested for allegedly molesting a five-year-old child while she playing near the stairs inside a residential building in southeast Delhi where the family resides.

The official said the incident came to light when the child told her parents that a pizza delivery boy had touched her inappropriately while she was playing on the staircase. The girl’s family was not home at the time of the incident, he said.

The Punjab Police on Thursday arrested five suspects after another low-intensity blast was triggered near Amritsar’s famed Golden Temple.

According to the police, the arrested persons are also allegedly involved in the two similar explosions that rocked the area earlier in the week. However, the motive behind the serial blasts wasn’t elaborated upon.

They said that the explosion was triggered on Wednesday midnight in Galiara, the pathway and park around the Golden Temple, behind the Guru Ramdas Ji Niwas (inn) building.

A senior officer said the cops are investigating a “deep-rooted conspiracy” and examining possible connections of those arrested, in India and abroad.

Speaking to newsmen, Director-General of Police Gaurav Yadav said a Special Investigations Team (SIT) will be constituted to probe the incidents and its being investigated whether the blasts are the handiwork of a self-radicalized module or if the suspects were taking directions from handlers.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday conducted raids in Shaheen Bagh area of Delhi in connection with its ongoing investigation into last month’s case of arson on a train in Kerala’s Elathur.

According to report, searches in the area began on early Thursday morning and are currently underway at various locations at the hideouts of the suspects connected to the case.

On April 2, Shahrukh Saifi, a resident of Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh tried to set afire some passengers on board the Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express at Elathur in Kerala’s Kozhikode.

Reports at the time said that Saifi doused the passengers with some inflammable liquid and tried to light them on fire which sparked panic aboard the train resulting in the deaths of three people who jumped from the train in a bid to escape.

Saifi, who had himself sustained injuries while carrying out the attack, was later arrested from Ratnagiri by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Maharashtra police and Central Intelligence.

The NIA took over the case from the Kerala Police following an order issued by the Counter Terrorism and Counter Radicalization (CTCR) division under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

The federal anti-terror agency is probing a larger terror conspiracy which, according to the Kerala Police, led to the radicalization of 27-year-old Saifi who was also reportedly influenced by the inflammatory speeches of Islamic televangelist Zakir Naik.

Officials said the agency is also exploring the possibility that Saifi might’ve had handlers and aides who may have been part of this plot and inter-state links are also being examined.

Last week, a district session court in Kozhikode booked the accused Saifi under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code in a case filed against him by the Railway police.

The accused had told the police that he acted alone and nobody else was involved, however, officials have claimed that Saifi was part of a preplanned conspiracy and not a lone-wolf attack.
