In a bizarre incident, a policeman allegedly molested the minor survivor of a sexual abuse case. The cop has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The cop, identified as Assistant Sub-Inspector TG Babu, allegedly molested her while taking her to Ooty for gathering evidence. He touched the girl inappropriately and clicked her photograph without her consent. As per the girl’s statement, the incident happened in the presence of a lady officer who had accompanied the two.
Soon the policeman was suspended after the news came to light. The 17-year-old was previously molested by a gang of young men she met on social media. A POCSO case was already filed over this crime.
