“In her statement before the CJM, she revealed that on 12-04-2016, after school hours, while proceeding to her home, along with her friends, she entered a public lavatory near main chowk Handwara for answering nature’s call.
As soon as she came out of the lavatory, she was confronted, assaulted and dragged, by two boys and her bag was snatched by one of the boys in school uniform,” the police said.
The cops presented the girl before the CJM following orders by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court on a petition filed by the mother of the girl.
The petition sought the release of the girl, her father and aunt, who were in police custody since the day when the allegations of molestation resulted in violent protests across Handwara.
