He told his parents that their former domestic help, who was employed with them for three months - and had quit three months ago to go to his native place, Pune - used to sodomise him on the pretext of giving him a bath. The boy said the 17-year-old used to give him chocolates after that and asked him to keep mum.

The parents of the survivor lodged a complaint against the domestic help with the Bangur Nagar police the same day. In their complaint, the parents mentioned that they both work and had hired the 17-year-old to look after their son, who studies in Std III.

Acting swiftly on the complaint, the Crime Branch nabbed the accused from Pune yesterday and handed him over to the Bangur Nagar police. The boy has been charged under Section 377 (unnatural offences) of the IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
