In a shocking incident reported from Mumbai, the Pant Nagar Police booked a 42-year-old woman for allegedly sexually assaulting her 13-year-old step son for over a year. The accused woman also allegedly threatened the kid with dire consequences if he disclosed the incident to his father.
According to the complaint registered by the father, the woman used to abuse and assault her step son and daughter repeatedly over trivial issues.
Case:
The father learnt about his son’s exploitation, when the teen narrated his plight to him. He said that, on a couple of occasions, his step mother sexually assaulted him over the smallest of issues and threatened him with dire consequences if he disclosed the incident to his father. The alleged sexual assault was going on for over a year since September, 2019, added the teen.
The minor boy further added that his step mother used to beat him and his elder sister over little things and also verbally abused them. However, fearing her, they both kept mum. The kids’ father is a driver and is frequently out of home for work, which was when the step mother abused the siblings, said the officials.
