Two separate incidents of sexual assault on minors in the central area of the city have come to light in the past two days. In both cases, the survivors were 10-year-olds a boy and a girl and both were familiar with their assailants.

In the more recent case, a 10-year-old girl in Vikhroli was gang-raped by her relative and two of her neighbours over a period of six months. The young girl had been too scared to tell anyone about the incidents.
