Pune – A disturbing case has emerged in Pune, where a 21-year-old man has been accused of raping a minor girl. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the community, involves allegations that the perpetrator injected the girl with ganja before the assault. According to reports, the accused took photographs of the girl after she fainted and threatened to share these images on social media.
The girl's mother has come forward, alleging that the accused intimidated her by claiming he would kill her daughter if she spoke out. This incident follows a recent spate of violence against minors in the region, including a case where two girls from Baramati were lured to Pune and gang-raped. The victim in that case was reportedly coerced into silence due to fears of familial disputes and anger from relatives, further highlighting the troubling culture of fear surrounding sexual violence in the area.
In response to these alarming incidents, several schools in Pune have implemented complaint boxes, aiming to provide a safe way for students to report violence. In this case, the victim bravely narrated her ordeal in a complaint, leading the school administration to take immediate action. They promptly informed the police, who arrested the accused man under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Authorities are now investigating the matter further, as the community grapples with the fallout of these heinous acts. The police have urged parents and guardians to maintain open communication with their children, ensuring they feel safe and supported in reporting any incidents of violence or abuse.
