Coimbatore: Three minor boys were arrested on Saturday for sexually assaulting an 11-year old girl in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore on Sunday.
Two among them were produced before juvenile court today and another one is at large, police sources said.
The minor girl was staying in a rented house near Sundarapuram with her father and aunt. Her mother had passed away a few years ago.
Few days before she had gone to her landlord’s house on the ground floor to watch television. On entering the house, she found the two boys watching obscene videos on the smartphone. The duo forced the girl to watch the video. She immediately left the place and went to her home, police said.
Later, the boys followed her, barged into her house on the first floor and raped her multiple times. The trio forced the girl to watch obscene videos on their phones and visited her house to sexually assault her for the next week.
A few days ago, the minor girl developed severe stomach ache and she was taken to a government hospital. Doctors examined and inquired her. She revealed the incident to the doctors, police said.
Following this, doctors lodged a complaint with the local police station. A case has been registered against the trio under sections 5 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) and 6 (punishment for aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the POCSO Act.
Police have launched a search for another boy as he is still absconding. Further investigation is underway, police added.
