Man arrested under POCSO Act in Wyra

On Sunday, the Wyra police apprehended a 50-year-old man suspected of sexually assaulting a minor girl in Wyra town, Khammam district. The arrest came after a complaint was filed by the victim's parents, who lodged the case with the police on Saturday night under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The accused, identified as Jagadish or David Raj, allegedly entered the girl's residence while she was alone and committed the heinous act.

Police sources revealed that the man held a key position within a political party and had previously been involved in a rowdy sheet incident, which was later dropped. Ongoing investigations are being conducted to gather more evidence and details regarding the case.
