  • Two other boys, including the alleged main perpetrator, remain absconding as officers expand the search across Kavi Nagar and Wave City.
  • An FIR was registered under Section 70(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO Act after the victim’s mother detained the intruders and raised the alarm.
