Minor abuse victim given counselling
An 18-year-old higher secondary student, who was released from Tirur sub-jail on Saturday after a DNA examination found that he was not responsible for the pregnancy of a minor girl, is still an accused in the rape of the minor girl. The police said that the release of Sreenath from the jail did not mean that he was absolved of the charges filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and IPC 376 for rape. “He still is an accused in the POCSO case,” said District Police Chief Sujith Das S.More Related News
