A Mumbai court has acquitted a man accused of sodomising a minor boy, noting that the 8-year-old made the claim only after he was caught smoking by his mother.
A POCSO court in Mumbai sentenced a man to 25 years in prison for raping his 13-year-old daughter. It also commended the victim's grandmother for seeking justice and sending her son to jail.
Citing provisions of the POCSO Act, it said that there are rules for spreading awareness and also if the child needs to be taken away from home and placed in a children’s home or shelter home.
