Chennai traffic constable & boyfriend held for raping 13-year-old girl

In a shocking incident, a 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a traffic constable in Chennai’s Mylapore area.

The cop, identified as Raman, has been arrested by the police in connection with the matter.

The matter came to light after the police, acting on her mother’s missing complaint, traced the girl living with her 16-year-old boyfriend in Cuddalore.

The minor girl’s mother had filed a complaint with the Mylapore All Women Police, saying that her daughter had been missing since January 25.

After an inquiry, the girl revealed that her boyfriend had also sexually abused her on the pretext of marriage.

The girl had fled from her house on January 25 and went to the boyfriend’s home but his mother refused to allow her inside.

Having nowhere to go, she was sleeping on a pavement in Mylapore where a traffic cop arrived and offered to drop her home.

But instead, he sexually abused her in the vehicle.

After this, he took her to a police booth where he again sexually assaulted the minor girl.

Later, she again went back to her boyfriend and eloped together to a relative’s house in Cuddalore where he allegedly raped her.

The police have detained the minor boy and her mother on charges under the provisions of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
