Well; the shoe certainly seems to be on the other foot this time around........
In a first of it's kind even for a jaded and world weary soul like me; a hapless and unsuspecting 10 year old minor boy suffered grievous injuries to his private parts and other parts of his body when a 16 year old minor girl (teenager) from the very same locality coerced or then tried to force him to sexually pleasure her............
This somewhat bizarre and jaw dropping incident was reported from Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) city's Kulhauli village on a desultory and eventful Sunday afternoon and ended up causing grievous bodily harm to the 10 year old victim who is undergoing treatment at a state government run hospital for the excessive bleeding caused by potentially life threatening injuries to his lower extremities........
As for the 16 year old aggressor; she has since been shifted to a state run juvenile correctional facility while the local police try their utmost to register a case against her under all the relevant and applicable sections of both the Indian Penal Code as well as the POCSO act as both the accused and victim are minors and hence the accused cannot be tried as an adult as per the exiting laws of the land........
Legal experts who specialise in such cases have opined that the local police authorities can register a case against the accused under section 8 of the Prevention Of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and remand her to a juvenile correctional facility until she turns 18........
Well; what else can one say apart from shaking one';s head in bewilderment and grudgingly acknowledging the fact that India seems to be emancipated and progressive when it comes to matters pertaining to sex and the like......
