On Thursday night, a 16 year-old boy from Malwani reportedly raped a seven-year-old girl. Following questioning it was revealed that this was the eighth girl that he had raped.
The incident occurred when the girl went to a grocery shop, where the boy started molesting her. The girl reportedly yelled at the boy, which is when he hoisted her on his shoulders and raped her twice behind the Malwani church.
After raping her, the boy tried to escape from the crime scene, but the girl followed him crying. They reached Rathodi village in Malwani, where they both live, the girl's mother saw the boy running and her daughter following him crying and confronted him.
Locals caught the boy and handed him to the police. After the police questioning, both were sent to the Nagpada Police hospital for a check up. The boy later confessed to his crime.
During the interrogation, the boy was asked about a series of tattoos on his arms.
In what came as a horrifying revelation to the police, he revealed that the names tattooed on his arm was a list of the girls he had raped. Following the confession the police sent the boy to the Children Remand Home in Dongri.
"We were shocked to hear that he had already raped seven other girls. The matter is very serious and therefore we sent him to the children remand home. Medical reports revealed that he raped the girl. We cannot give him harsh punishment since he himself is a minor," said a police officer from Malwani police station.
"We had arrested him on Thursday night and he has been sent to the children remand home in Dongri," confirmed senior police inspector V Aandhale of Malwani police station.
