51 -year -old security guard in Mumbai for the girl’s molestation on the construction terrace

The girl, who used to come to the building to take private schooling, was friends with the 51-year-old security agent, over a few weeks, before executing her molest plan, the police said.

The incident, which took place on March 7, came to light a week later, when the girl suddenly refused to go to the building because she took the school class, the police said.

At his mother’s investigation, the girl told the whole episode and expressed her fears about the repetition of the incident, the police said.

The girl’s mother learned about the incident on March 12 and immediately filed a police complaint, after which a medical test was performed.

Goregaon police have registered a file against the guard under the molest and protection of children against sexual crimes (POCSO) and arrested it, an official said.

His arrest followed the scanning of the CCTV materials of the building and an identification parade, during which he was careful to avoid any direct contact between the victim and accused, an official said.

The data show that the Mumbai Police are registering six cases of sexual abuse on children between the ages of 4-16 daily. In 2023, the police in the country’s financial capital registered 1.005 problems of molestening and abuse under POCSO ACT in the first 11 months of the calendar year.

The Goregaon incident revived memories of last year’s incident in Thane, where the employee of a school contract sexually assaulted two minor girls.

Akshay Shinde, 24, was accused of sexually assaulted two minor girls at a school in Badlapur.

A contract sweep at the school in Badlapur, Shinde was arrested on August 17, five days after sexually abused the two girls in the school toilet.

He was killed near the Mumbra Bypass in Thane, when he was snatched by a policeman while being taken in a police vehicle, as part of a probe in a registered case, in the complaint of his ex -wife. Ians
