The victim’s mother managed to nab the accused, Rahul Gupta of Harikrishan Nagar, Shimlapuri, and handed him over to the police.

In her complaint to the police, the victim’s mother said that her son came home crying on Thursday evening. When she coaxed him to tell her why, he revealed that Gupta took him to his rented accommodation after offering him a motorcycle ride and sodomised him. He also warned him against disclosing the matter to anyone.

Infuriated, the woman marched to Gupta’s house and confronted him. There, she called the police and had him arrested.

Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Jageer Singh, the investigating officer in the case, said they had booked Gupta under Section 377 (sodomy) of the Indian Penal Code, and Sections 3 and 4 (punishment for penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
