Protection of Children from Sexual Offences

The incident dates back to 2018. The convict was found guilty under Sections 10 and 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Allahabad High Court has highlighted the urgent need for a robust legal aid system to support child victims of sexual abuse under the POCSO.

The girl has reportedly claimed, according to police sources, that she was assaulted on February 2 when she went to see the 81-year-old leader with her mother to get help with a cheating case.
