Minor raped by juvenile

A four-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her 13-year-old neighbour in Surajpur area of Greater Noida on Tuesday. The juvenile raped the girl in an unnatural way and entered the house when no one was at home. He was seen by another boy from the neighbourhood who raised an alarm.

The locals then caught the teenager, thrashed him and handed him over to the police. Anuj Kumar, Station House Officer, Surajpur Police Station said: "A case of rape under Section 377 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and appropriate sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered against the teenager at Surajpur police station.

The boy was apprehended and produced before the juvenile justice board. As it is a crime committed by a juvenile, the boy will be sent to a correctional home. At the time of the incident, there was no one at home except the victim." Last week, an eight-year-old girl was raped by a twenty-two year-old son of the house owner in Sahibabad.
