The Special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Court in Borivli of Maharashtra's Mumbai district on Friday ordered police to take legal action against two prime witnesses in a rape case.

The victim of the case and her mother are the two prime witnesses. In March 2019, the victim (female player) and her mother had filed a rape case against a player at the time when she was a minor (17 years and 8 months). An FIR under sections 376 of IPC and Section 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act was filed for the alleged offence after the victim's mother found that she was 24 weeks pregnant.
