In Palghar, a 10-year-old girl has claimed she was sexually assaulted by her 50-year-old uncle. Her family claims police refused to register a complaint and instead intimidated them. Alleged assault occurred on July 21 at around 10:20 PM during a family argument. Since then, the victim has been traumatized, isolating herself, losing appetite, and missing examinations.
The family approached Palghar police to lodge a complaint under POCSO Act but alleged officers refused. They were forced to file an online complaint and the victim was taken to a hospital for a medical examination. On August 5, when they returned with a medical memo, police allegedly intimidated the traumatized child. The family has now submitted a formal complaint to Maharashtra's DGP seeking an immediate FIR, an unbiased investigation and a probe beyond Palghar police station. Superintendent of Police Yatish Deshmukh assured a thorough investigation.
