Kondhwa: Three minors imitate obscene videos and sexually abuse a five-year-old boy

Pune: Three minors were taken into custody for repeatedly subjecting a five-year-old boy to unnatural acts, imitating behavior they had seen in obscene videos.

The incidents, which occurred during August and September, sparked outrage in the local community. The victim's parents lodged a complaint at Kondhwa police station following which the minors involved were arrested.

According to police, all of the minors involved, including the victim, live in the same apartment complex. The five-year-old was playing with his classmates when the group came across explicit content on a cell phone.

Under the influence of what they saw, the minors stripped the younger boy and forced him to perform 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 behavior. Alarmed by what they had learned from their son, they quickly contacted the police to report the incident.

Kondhwa police responded quickly, arrested the three minors involved and sent them to the juvenile court where they will face trial under the juvenile justice system.

Police sub-inspector Sheikh, who led the investigation, expressed concern that children were increasingly being exposed to inappropriate content through mobile devices.
