A six-year-old boy was sodomised by an unknown man inside a public toilet in Jogeshwari West on December 2. Sources from Oshiwara police told mid-day that the grandfather of the survivor got alarmed when the boy did not return home at noon after attending classes in Gulshan Nagar on Monday afternoon. The grandfather alerted his son, a businessman, who started searching in the area and alerted his associates.

Meanwhile, a property agent Zainab alias Rehana Khan, noticed a boy soaked in urine and excreta walking listlessly on a ground. "One of his slippers was missing. He seemed to be disoriented. I asked his name and realised someone was searching for him. I took the boy with me and found the man who had been looking for him. I accompanied the two to the boy's home," Khan told mid-day.
