Pune: Three minors have been taken into custody for repeatedly subjecting a 5-year-old boy to unnatural acts, mimicking behaviors they saw in obscene videos.
The incidents, which took place over the span of August and September, have sparked outrage among the local community. The victim's parents lodged a complaint at the Kondhwa Police Station, resulting in the arrest of the minors involved.
According to police reports, all the minors involved, including the victim, live in the same residential complex. The 5-year-old was playing with his peers when the group stumbled upon explicit content on a mobile phone.
Under the influence of what they saw, the minors undressed the younger boy and forced him into unnatural acts. Shockingly, these incidents occurred repeatedly, often in the presence of an older child who did nothing to stop the abuse.
The horrific abuse was discovered when the victim’s parents noticed unusual changes in his behavior. Distressed by what they learned from their son, they quickly approached the police to report the matter.
Acting swiftly, the Kondhwa police detained the three minors involved and presented them to the juvenile court, where they will face legal proceedings according to the juvenile justice system.
Police Sub-Inspector Sheikh, leading the investigation, expressed concern over the rising exposure of children to inappropriate content through mobile devices.
