The city has thrown up another case that spotlights the vexing issue of sexual violence perpetrated by juveniles. Cops on Wednesday arrested 14-year-old twins from Dahisar for molesting a schoolgirl. The accused brothers had molested the 10-year-old victim who shares their neighbourhood on two separate occasions.

The boys have been sent to the Dongri observation home for juveniles. The incident came to light only because of the victim’s teacher’s intervention. “The girl turned quiet and wouldn’t talk to anyone. Her teacher noticed the sudden change in her behaviour and decided to find out what was wrong,” said Suresh Kilje, senior inspector of MHB police station. “The duo has been sent to Dongri children’s home.”
