Guwahati: Tutor Allegedly Molests Minor Girl On New Year's Eve

GUWAHATI: A 13-year-old girl was allegedly molested by her young tutor on New Year's Eve. The girl's family has filed a formal complaint against the tutor, accusing him of sexual misconduct.

The incident took place at Saptah Shahid Path located in Guwahati's Dispur area. 

The Dispur Police Station has registered a case under number 1381/24, charging the tutor under sections 126(2), 75(2), and 76 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.

Meanwhile, earlier last month, a minor girl aged 11 years hailing from No. 1 Balijuri, Mangalbariya, on the northern part of Jamugurihat, was raped by one Sanjib Munda (21 years), a resident of No. 1 Balijuri.

According to information, the minor girl who went to a nearby shop with her sister in-law was persuaded by Sanjib and taken away. He raped the minor girl for the whole night. On the other hand, the family members tried to locate the minor girl who didn’t return home. But they didn’t get any information about the girl.

In another similar incident, there had been yet another report of a minor girl being gang-raped in Tripura in just a week. This time, five youths abducted a minor girl in the South Tripura district on December 14 and gang raped her.

The girl was reportedly kidnapped from her house and brought to a rubber plantation in the Mahondaira neighbourhood of Paikhola, where the five accused allegedly gang-raped her all night long.
