Stating that the term 'private part' must be interpreted in the context of what it means in society, a Mumbai court recently sentenced a 22-year-old man to 5 years in jail for touching a 10-year-old girl’s posterior in 2017.

As per a report in India Today, public prosecutor Sulbha Joshi told the special Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court that the girl, in 2017, had stepped out to buy bread from a nearby shop. While returning, she saw four boys sitting near a stationery shop, laughing at her. She ignored them and returned home.
