Doctor booked for molesting his son

Gurugram: The Gurugram police has registered an FIR after a complaint that a 13-year-old boy was allegedly molested multiple times by his father, who happens to be a doctor. According to the law enforcement officials, the alleged incidents of molestation occurred in June 2018 first at a swimming pool and then at a movie theatre The accused is presently absconding.

The incident came to light when the boy's mother, who is also a doctor, took him for counselling after she noticed changes in his behaviour where the juvenile apparently expressed about him being molested. The mother, who is a divorcee, filed a police complaint on Sunday about the molestation, which allegedly happened in June 2018.

Sources in the police claim that the main reason behind divorce could be the rising discomfort of the mother because of the inappropriate and violent relationship which the father had with his son. On June 10, 2018, as per the court direction, she took the boy to meet him at a hotel, and the accused allegedly touched his private parts when he was changing his clothes after swimming.

On June 11, the accused asked his son and estranged wife to come for a movie and he allegedly touched him inappropriately during the movie, the woman told the police.

The police said that the boy's statement has been recorded before a magistrate. He was also presented before the child welfare committee and was undergoing counselling. "The accused is on the run, and we are conducting raids to arrest the accused," the official said.

An FIR was filed at Sector 29 police station under Section 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on Sunday. In 2017, the police arrested a 64 -year-old for molesting his five-year-old granddaughter who then complained about the incident to her mother.
