A 16-year-old boy has been sent to a juvenile home for allegedly molesting his four-year-old cousin in Jaipur.
Station house officer, Vidhyadhar Nagar police station, Virendra Kumar said the girl, along with her mother, was visiting her aunt in Jaipur a month ago. One day, both the women went to market, leaving the child with the aunt’s son.
On their return, the mother saw the girl quiet but she wouldn’t tell why. She, however, narrated the incident on their return to Delhi. The mother then approached the aunt. When there was no action from the aunt’s family, she lodged a complaint on Saturday.
