A 17-year-old juvenile home inmate was allegedly thrashed and sodomised for six days. Ten of his fellow inmates were booked for the same on Saturday.
After the victim raised a complaint, a case was registered at the Shimlapuri police station on the complaint of the observation home superintendent Arun Aggarwal.
In his complaint, Aggarwal said that on November 8, the 17-year-old inmate had filed a written complaint saying the accused boys had been sexually exploiting him since November 3.
He also alleged that whenever he resisted, the accused would thrash him. Shimlapuri assistant sub-inspector Ranjeet Singh said the police have registered a case against ten juvenile home inmates under Sections 377 (sodomy), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
