The incident came to light when some passers-by noticed the child being beaten up by the duo. As they rushed the boy to a hospital, the real matter surfaced. “When we conducted a medical check-up we noticed severe inflammation around his anus sphincter and infected pustule, which indicate rape. So, I immediately took him to the police station on Monday night and registered a complaint,” said Yamini Adbe, a physician from Dr Ambedkar Cantonment General Hospital.
Acting on the complaint, police arrested the duo. “The accused have been charged with appropriate sections of The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act and sections 507 and 34 of IPC. They will be produced in court on Wednesday. u00a0
