Police said the incident occurred on February 25, around 9pm. An officer from Khar police station said one of the victims was three-years-old, while the other was about one-year-old.

The girls stay on the same floor of the building where the accused resides. On Tuesday, they were playing inside the teen’s flat when he was alone at his residence.

Taking advantage of the situation, the accused asked the girls to take off their clothes and then sexually assaulted both of them. Shocked by his conduct, the three-year-old started crying. When she returned, her mother asked why she was crying and the girl narrated her ordeal.

Her parents then reported the incident to Khar police and lodged a complaint.
