The girl’s mother told the court that her daughter came back crying from the park and when she asked what was wrong, the girl said that a man had scratched her private parts and fled.


Later in the day, the mother and daughter went to the market close to their home and the child spotted the accused. The mother then informed the girl’s father who filed a complaint with the police. The man was arrested later that day.  On Monday, a special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act court convicted and sentenced the accused man to five years imprisonment after the girl identified him in court.
