The Virugambakkam All Women Police on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 arrested a 34-year-old driver under POCSO Act for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl.
A senior official of the City Police said V. Sathya who was married to Venkatesan was living separately for the past seven years. Sathya was engaged in selling vegetables on the roadside and developed a relationship with a mini-truck driver T. Sathish of Thiruvannamalai district.
Sathya has a 12-year-old girl and had recently come to stay with her mother. Sathish, without the knowledge of Sathya, started sexually assaulting her. Last week when the girl told her mother of stomach pain, the girl was taken to a private hospital where the doctors said the girl was pregnant.
Based on the complaint filed by Sathya, Virugamabakkam All Women Police, during investigation, found that Sathish had sexually assaulted and impregnated the girl. He was later produced before a judicial magistrate and sent to prison.
