A special court in Pune has framed charges against a 65-year-old accused in the alleged sexual assault and murder of a minor girl in Nasrapur. The court ordered daily in-camera hearings from Friday after prosecutors presented CCTV footage, DNA evidence and witness statements

The incident came to light after a neighbour noticed the accused through a gap in a tin sheet wall allegedly attempting to remove the child’s clothes. The neighbour immediately raised an alarm, following which locals rushed to the spot, apprehended the accused and handed him over to the police
